4 Historical School Textbooks Collection

School textbooks are often discarded as having little intrinsic value or academic worth, but they are a fascinating resource for historians. For the historian of education, textbooks are useful sources of information on the development of the school curriculum, especially before the introduction of the National Curriculum. They also provide evidence of changing ideas on teaching methods and assessment.

School textbooks also provide much interesting evidence of other aspects of everyday life in past eras. In addition to the ‘factual’ presentation of contemporary life in text and illustrations, they often reveal prevailing attitudes which are likely to be controversial today. There is also plenty of evidence of history being whitewashed in these historical sources. The representation of race, gender and culture allows historians to place these these primary sources in their social, political and cultural contexts.

The Institute has one of the largest collections of British school textbooks, covering all educational levels, from nursery to sixth form. The collection represents all subjects in the curriculum, and has particular strengths in geography, history and science. A significant part of the textbooks date from the late 19th century onwards but the largest group date from the 1920s to 1960s.
