"History is bunk!"

So said Henry Ford in 1916. He was wrong. For most Americans, the past is interesting and important -- it's "History" that is the problem. Too often History is an irrelevant school subject to be endured for a year or two, a bunch of names and dates quickly forgotten.

History means something different for the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning (ASHP/CML). It's a place to investigate, full of surprising discoveries. And it's not just one story; good history involves the telling of many stories: often conflicting, sometimes troubling, and frequently inspiring. For more than twenty-five years, we've written books, produced documentaries, created digital and online programming, and organized activities that challenge the traditional ways people learn history. Informed by the latest scholarship, we make the past, and the lives of the working people and "ordinary" Americans who shaped it, vivid and meaningful.

Based at The City University of New York Graduate Center, ASHP/CML produces print, visual, and multimedia materials that explore the richly diverse social and cultural history of the United States. We also lead professional development seminars that help teachers in New York City and across the nation to use the latest scholarship, technology, and active learning methods in their classrooms. ASHP/CML supervises The Graduate Center's New Media Lab, which facilitates student and faculty digital projects and research.
