COMING IN APRIL 2025…
Year in Revolution is our new, short-form video learning series developed to commemorate the semi-quincentennial observance of the start of the American Revolution. Lasting three to five minutes per video, each installment of this nine-part series highlights a different year of the Revolution, beginning in 1775 and ending in 1783. Year in Revolution videos present both a comprehensive overview, as well as a “who, what, when, where, and how,” for each year of the war, employing archival animation that features the library and museum collections of the American Revolution Institute Society of the Cincinnati. “Who” videos explore categories of people from the revolutionary generation, “what” videos explore revolutionary ideas and ideals, “when” videos explore revolutionary events, “where” videos explore key places during the Revolution, and “how” videos explore relationships that helped define the Revolution. Featured video topics were suggested by our national network of Master Teacher Seminar alumni.
Funding for the 1775 and 1776 installments of Year in Revolution was made possible by a grant from the by the George S. Rich Family Foundation.
The creative team for this series was assembled by the American Revolution Institute and the talented educational production leads at Makematic Limited.
