New Name, Even More Great Primary Sources

 The Montana Memory Project has changed its name. It's now the Montana History Portal. It's changed its look and its interface, too. I haven't spent much time on the new site, but director Jennifer Birnel says it's an improvement. She's particularly excited about 

• the new top menu, which will make it easier to navigate to the Collections, Contributors, and Exhibits pages from anywhere in the site, and
• the new Featured Items section, which will provide easy access to new collections and digital exhibits.

Don't forget to submit your student stories to the Montana History Portal's Third Annual Historical Picture Prompt contest. (The deadline to enter is March 17, 2023.) Learn more here.

And stay tuned for information about their annual Meme-ory Contest, which usually takes place in May. Here are last year's winners in the age 10-18 category, the age 19-40 category, and the age 41-120 category.

Looking for inspiration on how to use primary sources with your students? Here are some past posts that address this issue.
