John Adams Mini-Series now at IMCS

Using an OID mini-grant, professor Karen Rowe obtained the HBO mini-series: "I regularly assign to my graduate and undergraduate classes the Letters of Abigail and John (Adams), teaching them both as historical documents and as literary constructions. In this great age of the epistolary, these letters constitute a remarkable record not only of the courtship and life-long relationship of two prominent figures central to the American Revolution, but also the formation of American ideals, morals, and the new Republic." I can only imagine that the John Adams  mini-series will be of equal utility for courses taught through the Department of History." Instructors may schedule this title for class use by contacting OID's Instructional Media Collection & Services. (IMCS)
