How to Use a Book of Centuries – Simply Charlotte Mason
A Book of Centuries can be as unique as you are. I, personally, am a list person, so my Book of Centuries is full of lists. A friend of mine is more of an artistic person, so her Book of Centuries is full of sketches with captions. If you would like an example of a list person’s Book of Centuries, I’m happy to explain mine in more detail. In my Book of Centuries, the left page is dedicated to specific events with dates that I want to remember. On the right page I list names of people who lived during that era. Also on that right page, in a different color of ink, I list the titles of any books I’ve read that were set in that time period. I’m sure you’ll come up with more ways to personalize your own Book of Centuries. If you would like more information, visit our Book of Centuries page where you can also download a free Book of Centuries template.
Albert Einstein at the IISH
Seventy-five years of systematic collection by the IISH does not only mean bringing together all kinds of collections from individuals and institutions who are important to social history, but also leads to a 'condensing' of documents from people whose own archives have not ended up at the Institute. Albert Einstein's (1879-1955) letters offer a good example of this process. On the occasion of the new president of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) Robbert Dijkgraaf's introductory visit to the IISH (7 July 2008), we explored the possibility of exhibiting several of Einstein's letters. After all, Dijkgraaf is a renowned physicist and Einstein was once a foreign member of the KNAW. To our own surprise, a rummage through various archives did not only yield dozens of letters and manifests, but also a lecture with discussion, an unpublished preface, and various visual artefacts. The IISH's collection of Einsteiniana spans the period of circa 1919 to 1947.

The Basics The Constitution is the highest law in the United States. The Constitution can be changed. History The Constitution was written in 1787. From May to September 1787 a group of men known as the Framers met. At that time there were only 13 states. After the Convention, the Constitution had to be approved. Amendments When the Constitution was written, the Framers knew their creation was not perfect. The Framers added an amendment process. Originally, some people did not want to ratify the Constitution. Soon, the new government started meeting. Other changes to the Constitution are discussed below. Slavery Women The Bill of Rights

History Timelines
Michael was in first grade when we put up our first timeline. This was the year we started to read books in The Childhood of Famous Americans series. (Gee, I should have been a salesman for those books!) I needed a way to help Michael remember all of the people we were reading about and where their place was in history. We were using Konos this year, so I purchased their timeline and put it up on our large kitchen wall. Don't try to see details in this poor-quality photo, it's basically to show you the overall layout of the timeline. The years continue *UP* the line on the BC side (left side). The final 600 years have much longer lines than at other times in history. This is what some of the characters on our timeline looked like: Figures 1 and 2 are the blank templates that came with the Konos timeline. Konos has symbols on many of their figures. I became extremely unhappy the following school year when I realized how much we missed our large timeline. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3.
