National High School Curriculum

Co-authored by Walsh and Generation Human Rights, this national high school curriculum focuses on visual literacy, photography, and the significance of archives. Meeting core standards and applicable in English, history/social studies, civics, and arts classrooms, the curriculum teaches a rising generation about the history of photography, the value of personal documentation, the skills needed to be an archivist, and the import of cross-cultural and cross-generational dialogue through the aid of photographs. 

Family Activities

Co-authored by Walsh and Generation Human Rights, the “LRA Parent Activities” are geared toward parents/caretakers, to use with elementary- and middle school-aged children, as simple yet fun family-oriented projects and activities that promote interest in family archives, family history, and cross-generational conversation.
