Classroom History Exhibits

OUR MISSION: The History in Your Hands Foundation (HIYHF) is to provide students and teachers with authentic historical objects and primary source materials to help foster a more enriched, hands-on learning experience within the classroom.

Imagine a class field trip to see wonderful historical relics, and the pure joy it brings to the students. Now imagine the same museum-quality pieces in the comfort of the classroom. Inspiring learning, encouraging hands on interaction, and provoking wonder; this is driving force behind the core program, the Traveling Classroom History Exhibit.



Our Traveling Classroom History Exhibit is essentially a rental program of authentic historical objects and primary source materials. We are beginning with a pilot program focused on ancient history. Educators may contact us to reserve a quality case of antiquities, ancient coins, stereoscope images w/ two viewers, and an assortment antique map reproductions. These cases can easily be brought from class to class within the school over the course of a 2 - 3 day rental period. Our belief is that where there is an opportunity for hands on interaction with the past, students are more compelled to ask the deeper questions and think critically.

Our team is passionate in their efforts to curate collections, research artifacts, and facilitate the logistics of our traveling in-class museums. Donor funding is crucial to our process to support teachers and students by ultimately keeping the love and education of history alive for younger generations. We humbly ask for your support.
