 | Coal miners in Pennsylvania are pictured during the midday meal break. 1912. None is older than 12, but they got their jobs by claiming to be 14, the legal minimum age. They separated bits of stone from the coal. Others picked slate from swiftly moving streams of coal. The result appears in the drawn, prematurely aged faces seen in this picture. Lewis Hine photo.

“The History Project has been invaluable in providing teachers with useful, timely, and rigorous hands-on activities for Geography, World History and US History. Having the opportunity to hear and speak with university professors who are experts in their fields and actually having time to collaborate with educators throughout the region are certainly strengths of the program. Educators, take advantage of the History Project offerings; they will take your teaching to a much higher level, and you'll have fun in the process!”
