Print and digital resources, and museum sessions
During 2003/04 the Understanding Slavery partner museums
researched their collections for key objects and documents that
would support the study of the transatlantic slave trade. Following
this research each museum produced new print and digital resources
and devised new, on-site group sessions for young people.
This extensive printed pack provides key stage 3 History and Citizenship teachers with an ideas kit for teaching. The resource includes object image cards, which provide a framework for activities to encourage in-depth investigation and debate. A corresponding online version of Freedom is available at www.nmm.ac.uk/freedom
