Sherwood Forest Living History & Digital Archival Program Vision Collect, preserve, interpret, and protect the history of Sherwood Forest. Provide programs and services from which to inform the community-at-large of the rich and colorful history of Sherwood Forest. Offer scholarly training via internships to older interested Campers. History in the Raw – the Sherwood Archivist Experience Documents, diaries, letters, drawings, and memoirs created by those who participated in, or witnessed, the events of the past tell us something that even the best written article or book cannot convey. The use of primary sources exposes students to important historical concepts. First, students become aware that all written history reflects an author's interpretation of past events. Therefore, as students read a historical account, they can recognize its subjective nature. Second, through primary sources students directly touch the lives of people in the past. Further, as students use primary sources, they develop important analytical skills. To many, history is seen as a series of facts, dates, and events usually packaged as a textbook. The use of primary sources can change this view. As students use primary sources they begin to view their textbook as only one historical interpretation and its author as an interpreter of evidence, not necessarily as a purveyor of truth.
