Help Us Revolutionize Education with Open Access History Textbooks!
The Remedial Herstory Project is on a mission to rewrite the narrative of history education. Too often, traditional textbooks exclude or diminish the voices of women and marginalized communities, leaving students with an incomplete understanding of the past. We're changing that by creating US and World History textbooks that center diverse perspectives—and we need your help to make them open access!
Why Open Access?
Imagine a world where any teacher, student, or lifelong learner can access high-quality, inclusive history materials without financial barriers. By partnering with Routledge press, we have the chance to publish these groundbreaking textbooks as open access resources, making them freely available to everyone, everywhere.
Your Contribution Makes an Impact
Every dollar raised brings us closer to:
✨Amplifying underrepresented voices: From Indigenous leaders to women’s movements, we’re filling in the gaps traditional textbooks leave behind.
✨Supporting educators: By providing accessible, inclusive resources, we empower teachers to create more engaging and equitable classrooms.
✨Leveling the playing field for students: Open access means no one is left behind due to the cost of materials.
Our Goal
We need to raise $12,000 per textbook to cover the costs of publishing and licensing these textbooks as open access. With your support, we can ensure these resources reach classrooms and communities across the globe.
