We had a delightful afternoon learning about the history of nutrition at Acadia and the development of the teaching of nutrition/home economics/hygiene in grade schools. I hope that the participants were inspired to find ways to use historical sources in their own classrooms and build relationships with the university archivists.

Dietetics Adventure=Archives Discovery
In August, I gave a
session at a conference for critical dietetics. It was a small but totally
engaged group of academics that came to the Archives for a session. Remember
the first Nutrition class that came to the Archives in September 2012? (see posting http://classroomarchivist.blogspot.ca/2012/10/snapshot-impressions-1-first-class-of.html) This conference
session recreated parts of that lesson plan (posted here http://archivallessons.blogspot.ca/2012/10/nutritional-archival-sources-now-being.html) so that participants could
share the students’ experience.

I hope that the participants were inspired to find ways to use historical sources in their own classrooms and build relationships with the university archivists.
