Year in Revolution
Debuting in April 2025, our new Year in Revolution series features six, three- to five-minute videos for each year of the Revolutionary War, from 1775 to 1783. In addition to an overview video, each “year” of this collection delves into an essential “who, what, when, where, and how” to consider when studying America’s War for Independence.
Conversations and Lectures
Some of today’s leading—and most engaging—historians and scholars on the Revolution are featured in these student-focused Conversations and Lectures for the Classroom videos. This series explore the fundamental themes of the American Revolution and its legacy, and each video is available in full-length form as well as in shorter, chaptered segments ideal for use in the classroom or for students to watch on their own.
Collections Corner
For a focus on primary source objects, explore the treasures of our museum and library collections in our Collections Corner series. Each short video segment features a member of our staff discussing rare items in our collections, from prints and manuscripts to weapons and portraits.
