Students simulate the roles of archivists and researchers. Jones explained that the experience is meant to be as authentic as possible.

Stephanie Greenhut, also an education specialist, discussed the new Web site that is scheduled to launch in January. DocsTeach will be a three-pronged site, offering lesson plans, a database of historical documents that can be used to create new lessons and templates based on primary source documents.
