The DocsBox companion videos accompany select DocsBoxes. Through a partnership with Tennessee State Parks, we bring our documents to the places where these events occurred, making history come alive by showing students living history and allowing them to hear stories from park rangers. Each video is around 10 minutes and comes with a set of questions to generate student discussion.
For questions related to DocsBoxes and the companion videos, please contact us at: education.tsla@tn.gov.
The DocsBox videos are funded in part by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) a division of the National Archives. Learn more about NHPRC at https://www.archives/gov/nhprc.
