As an initial demonstration, the project is developing online HTML Editions of certain works from the Teachers College Press Classics in Education Series edited by Lawrence A. Cremin and originally published in the 1960s and 1970s. The Classics in Education Series presented many of the sources of our educational heritage. Many volumes of the original Series combined selections from important historical documents with readable, then up-to-date discussion of their place in the history of educational thought and their bearing on contemporary theory and practice. Other works in the Series were reprints of monographs that have significantly affected contemporary historical interpretation. All of the original Classics offered a fresh perpective of then current educational policy.
Twenty to thirty years later, the partners in this project seek to supplement, not supplant, the original Series, some volumes of which are still in print. Digital resources offered through this project will include HTML Editions of a number of the original Classics in Education Series. Eventually, these HTML Editions will be hyperannoted to many other resources, including other Series volumes and the primary works to which they speak, as well as to a plethora of contemporary digital resources, commentary and reflections intended to extend the series' relevance and timeliness well into the 21st century. (See note re multimedia translations).
This project, like all the academic projects undertaken by the Institute for Learning Technologies and Teachers College Press, intends to maintain the highest scholarly standards. In addition to the editorial staff of the Institute and the Press, this project includes on its development team Robbie McClintock, Professor of History and Education, Teachers College, Columbia University. Professor McClintock was a doctoral student of Professor Cremin, the original Series editor, and was himself an editor of two volumes in the original Series.
