Help Improve Local History Articles!
A great addition to curriculum for older students! Check out wikiedu for more information on how to incorporate wikipedia editing work into student projects. There's a number of local history articles that could use work, and many topics still need pages.

Color Your Way through the Clarke

This 31 page coloring book was created in 1988, but much of the material is still up to date.  It is a great activity to get kids excited for visiting the museum.  Feel free to print pages that interest you - or the whole thing!
