The K-12 Archives Education institute (AEI) is a free program designed to introduce primary sources to K-12 teachers as viable and practical resources for classroom instruction, while helping archivists and special collections professionals identify ways to connect these materials with Common Core and state requirements. Primary source materials are drawn from the rich collections of ART member repositories and other metropolitan area archives, museums, and libraries.
