  3. Introduction The main slide in this presentation is a quick reference chart (next slide) in which eight key focus topics intersect with ten eras of New Hampshire history. At each intersection is a short list of suggestions for study which may profitably be pursued by a student in search of a subject for research or by a teacher structuring a unit of study. In addition, notable people with connections to New Hampshire history are listed by era in an appendix. Where appropriate, study topics are linked to pertinent areas of the New Hampshire Historical Society’s Web site. Such materials also may be found on the Society’s CD-ROM, but there is no direct link. The presentation supplements the two books of the New Hampshire History Curriculum completed between 1997 and 1999. It is hoped that all teachers have access to these books, which were distributed to school libraries after they were published. Book 1 (grades K–6) is also available through the New Hampshire Historical Society’s Web site. To receive Book 2 (grades 7–12) contact the museum store at 603/856-0625 or order directly on-line.
