Artifacts
As we seek to understand the depth and breadth of a conflict, it’s important to look back to the cultural artifacts. Whether ancient or current, scholarly or commonplace, these items offer us an insight into past technological processes, economic development, and social structure, among other attributes. Artifacts can frame the way we view and think about the world — past and present—as well as how we understand and approach the past.
Movies
Documentary films serve as non-fictional motion-picture historical records intended to document reality in the way events truly happened. These films tell important and often unknown stories that bring a greater awareness to a wider audience. These films are some of the best resources for information about challenging times, topics, political upheaval, influential people and events, and more.
