Abstract
This post explores the Institute of Education's (IOE) Special Collections, highlighting their significance as historical and pedagogical resources. Central to the collections are textbooks, which serve as cultural artefacts reflecting the evolution of teaching methods, social and political priorities, and prevailing attitudes toward class, race, and gender. The blog examines key holdings, including historical textbooks, teacher training manuals, subject-specific collections, and multimedia educational resources, illustrating how these materials inform research and teaching. By engaging with the collections, scholars and students uncover insights into educational policy, curriculum development, and societal values across time, demonstrating the enduring relevance of these historical resources for contemporary historical inquiry.
