Dickinson College's House Divided Project

In the May 2011 edition of the NCHE's History Matters! newsletter we note and highly recommend the following:

Dickinson College hosted a series of events at the outset of the Civil War 150th anniversary (April 15 and 16) to formally launch the House Divided Project, an effort to provide 21st century tools for teaching 19th-century topics in Americaʼs K-12 classrooms.


At the center of the project is a powerful database, which includes more than 10,000 historic images and hundreds of thousands of individual records connected together in an easy-to-use interface designed to help teach the difference between “search” and “research.”

John Osborne and Matthew Pinsker are co-directors of the House Divided Project. Osborne is an

emeritus professor of history from Dickinson College. Pinsker is an associate professor of history

and holder of The Brian C. Pohanka '77 Faculty Chair in American Civil War History at Dickinson

and author of Lincoln's Sanctuary (Oxford, 2003).
