Antarctic Tragedy Resource pack discusses Robert Falcon Scott’s doomed Antarctic Expedition and uses a sermon from Bishop Grimes, ‘The Awful Tragedy of the Southern Antarctic’ delivered on 16 February 1913, to explore the attitude to the Antarctic explorers at the time.
Over time we will develop educational resources suitable for primary, secondary and tertiary students.
Classes are invited to visit the Diocesan Archives for a behind the scenes tour where we can discuss topics such as the importance of archives in research, how archives are cared for to ensure long term preservation and accessibility, career opportunities in archives and records management, and what can be researched at the Diocesan Archives. The Archivist can visit schools to talk to classes about the Diocesan holdings or other related topics.
Teachers are encouraged to contact the Diocesan Archivist to discuss their requirements.
