Curriculum Guides

Two comprehensive curriculum guides are available to introduce students to key topics of the Roosevelt era: the problems of migrant farmers during the New Deal and African Americans in World War II. Using primary source documents, photographs, and accompanied by study questions and other resources from the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library archives, the guides are designed for use by teachers of civics, citizenship, government, economics, geography, fine arts, history, writing and journalism. The curriculum guides can be effectively used by students from 3rd to 12th grade.

The guides may be directly downloaded to your computer. All documentary materials and photographs are in the public domain and may be freely photocopied.

The Roosevelt Presidential Library's Pare Lorentz Film Center has produced a DVD to introduce each curriculum guide. To receive a copy of the DVD please call (800) FDR-VISIT and select prompt 4 or email education.roosevelt@nara.gov.

If you have any questions about our education programs or would like to schedule a museum visit and curriculum-based education program at the Roosevelt Presidential Library, please call our education department at (800) FDR-VISIT and select prompt 4.

The Pare Lorentz Film Center at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library is funded by the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute through a generous grant from the New York Community Trust.
