About the project
How we remember the Revolution says as much about who we are today as it does about the world the founders left behind.
The story of America’s founding didn't end in 1776. It has been told and retold, contested and reimagined with every generation since.
Remembering the Revolution is a dynamic online resource exploring the history and memory of America's founding, from 1776 to 2026.
Designed for college and high school instructors, this collection brings together innovative approaches to one of the most enduring questions in American life: How have we made sense of our origins across 250 years of change?
Project features
You’ll find a filterable original source library drawing on articles, books, images, and artifacts that illuminate how different eras have interpreted the founding.
Current conversations connect that history to the debates shaping our world right now.
And a rich library of lesson plans and teaching resources gives educators the tools to bring these questions into the classroom in fresh and meaningful ways.
Whether you’re teaching the Revolution for the first time or the hundredth, Remembering the Revolution offers new ways in to our collective history.
