Pleased to meet you! I'm known as Cole, the collector.Oh, by the way, my name is Cole.  I am the museum curator
I will be your guide during this lesson.

We know much about the
past, thanks to our
records of history.

Primary and secondary
sources are the keys
we use to unlock
the doors that
lead to the past.

Our primary and secondary sources have just arrived. 

I must arrange them before the gallery opens tonight.


I could use your help!  We can turn back the hands of time and explore history! Let's sort these primary and secondary sources.

I didn't know that Washington, D.C., which is our nation's capital, is home of the world's largest museum complex!
