Media are becoming increasingly important in history education. This handbook provides foundational knowledge and reliable information about the key tools used in history teaching. It builds on the tradition of the similarly titled work published in 1985. The handbook acknowledges that access to the past relies on multiple senses and should not be limited to written text. Therefore, alongside written media, newer media such as film, computers, oral history, toys, models, etc., are also emphasized. Each contribution presents the principles that have emerged from the historiographical discussion over the past 20 years and offers suggestions for practical implementation in the classroom.
