 Other Educator News: 
 
Many teachers require their students to compile Alabama History notebooks but it is sometimes difficult for students to obtain good reliable information and attractive illustrations.  We have compiled often requested information into an Alabama History Notebookwhich is on sale in the Friends of the Alabama Archives Gift Shop.  Stop in the Archives to purchase an assortment of Alabama maps, symbols of Alabama, and other commonly requested information about our state.  The information is sold in booklet form ($20), and NEW THIS YEAR, on CD ($10).
 
Have you tried our History at Home activities?  If not, you may want to see what is new this month.
 
Don't forget, our tours are changing! A new tour, A Touch of History, will start December 1, 2010. Go to the school tours section of our Web site to learn more and to book your tour.
