Email Correspondance about this exhibit
Hello,
Your request for resources was passed along to me. The biggest resource that I have to readily offer is our education website missionhistory.org – through the lens of California mission history we have put together a suite of lessons to help teachers and students develop their skills of working with primary source materials. Also on this site, there is a “links” button that takes you to a series of additional web-based resources on the topic.
Our exhibition was curated by two history professors from UC Riverside, Dr. Catherine Gudis and Dr. Steven Hackel. Dr. Hackel is a leading, perhaps the leading, scholar on Junipero Serra. This is his Serra book that came out last year. It was certainly deep, but a very good source of discovery for my work in creating the website and the accompanying school program.
The only additional item that I can offer is the attached copy of the school guide that we offered to all the groups that we toured through the exhibition. I’m not sure that it is super helpful in your pursuits, but it does highlight the way in which we are engaging with students on this subject, and many more.
Please let me know if there is anything more specific that I can answer and good luck to you!
Best,
Rachel
