Bolin, Paul E., Ami. Kantawala, and Mary Ann. Stankiewicz. Steppingstones : Pivotal Moments in Art Education History. New York, NY: Teachers College Press, 2021. e-book
"Representing the first extensive volume on the history of art education to be published in 20 years, this book will generate new interpretations of both local and global histories for 21st-century readers. Steppingstones captures pivotal moments in art education history within the United States and globally. Chapters are situated within the broad and active stream of history, identified by the authors as places to pause, step down, and deeply explore these moments and the vibrant terrain that surrounds them. Some steppingstones in the volume are new and fresh reappraisals of familiar and well-recognized landing places in art education history. Other steppingstones contain discussions of previously unknown or overlooked material uncovered by the authors. Digging deep, getting beneath, and revealing steppingstones that embrace a pathway through the past, this book explores dynamic and spirited narratives about various people, institutions, events, tensions, and international perspectives that have shaped and continue to direct the course of art and design education. Book Features: Investigates contemporary issues through a lens toward the past, including issues of race, cultural protocols, intersectionality, international influence, White privilege, disability studies, and other social concerns. Presents contributions from well-known senior scholars alongside new voices of several emerging scholars of color. Includes biographical accounts of African American artists and educators, and the role and influence of the Harlem Renaissance. Contains discussion of art education in colonial India and explores complex relationships between colonizer-colonized histories. Focuses on art education in the United States with discussion of specific international influences. Offers contemporary best practices for doing historical research and strategies for teaching art education history courses at the university level. Highlights the significance of digital humanities and digital scholarship."
Dunbar, A. W. (2006). Introducing Critical Race Theory to Archival Discourse: Getting the Conversation Started. Archival Science, 6(1), 109.
This article introduces the application of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to archival discourse in order to demonstrate how such a critical and analytical approach can help identify and raise social and professional consciousness of implicit racial bias. To demonstrate the potential of CRT, the paper discusses how the terminology and methodological structures of CRT might be applied to some aspects of archival theory and practice. The paper concludes that CRT can contribute to a diversified archival epistemology that can influence the creation of collective and institutional memories that impact underrepresented and disenfranchised populations and the development of their identities.
Garnet, Dustin and Anita Sinner. Living Histories: Global Conversations in Art Education. Ingram Publisher Services UK, 2022. e-book
Living Histories is a collection of new scholarship that explores histories of art education through a series of international contexts. The first truly international text highlighting histories of art education, with contributions from over 30 scholars based in 18 countries. Art education holds an important role in promoting historical awareness of the multiple relations that connect pedagogic inquiry with culture, heritage, place and identity, locally and globally. To keep pace with the movements of art and society, Garnet and Sinner consider that art education requires more inclusive and holistic versions of history from transnational perspectives that break down barriers and cross borders in the pursuit of more informed and diverse understandings of the field.
Lewis, Kathleen Phillips. How to Research Marginalized Groups
This guide introduces "students to the special considerations, appropriate methods, and best practices for researching marginalized groups. The guide will address matters of definition –how is marginality defined and what are its identifiable features, how do groups come to be marginalized, how to determine whether or not a group meets the criteria to be classified as marginalized and in what way/s, how can marginal status change over time. It will include marginality as a result of caste, social or economic class, language, political subjugation, conquest, colonialism, and imperialism, national origin, regional location, disability, medical condition, race, ethnicity, age, religion, cultural norms, belief and value structure, legal classification, immigrant status, sex and gender identification, sexual orientation. The guide will provide clues on how to locate relevant sources, check their validity, and conduct thorough, critical interrogation and balanced interpretation of those sources. The guide will also outline problems that can arise in the course of researching marginalized groups, for example a paucity of sources, gaps and silences therein, identifying biases and nuances in meaning that are contextually referenced by geopolitical, linguistic, cultural, historical, and other parameters. Drawing from several examples of various historically marginalized groups, it will illustrate how best to find, probe and interpret different types of primary sources, avoid pitfalls inherent in their use, select appropriate research methodology and theoretical framework, determine when a group can be classified as marginalized, interrogate factors that create or impact their lived experience of marginalization, and draw sound conclusions."

Locating Physical Archives
There are several ways to locate primary resources that may be of interest to you. These include searching online catalogs, national or institutional archival databases, or inquiring directly at individual institutions. Any institution could potentially have an archive, from a small theater to governmental agencies or corporations. If you have an interest in a particular institution, you should contact that institution directly to inquire if they have an archive and whether you may access it. Here is a very small selection of some of New York City's largest institutions with physical archives:
- Finding Aids Portal for New York University's Fales Library & Special Collections
- New York City Board of Education Records, 1842-2002 - Records of the Board of Education, from its creation in 1842 to its replacement by a mayoral Department of Education in 2002. Also included are records of the Board of Education of the City of Brooklyn from 1853 to 1897. These records document aspects of educational policy-making and school-system administration. Located at the New York City Municipal Archives. See here for the Digital Gallery of New York City Board of Education photos.
If you are curious to see where else in the world collections on an individual or group may be held, you can search WorldCat (short for "world catalog"). To do this, use the advanced search, select "archival material" as the format, and search by keyword. Once you locate a collection of interest, you can inquire at the individual institution to get access.
Using a Finding Aid
Finding aids are the documents created by archivists to describe and give context to collections and help users identify what parts of the collection are of interest to them. They usually consist of the following sections, which may vary in title:
- Title and years of coverage: The title is usually the name of the person who collected the documents. While the collection will be most closely related to this person, it may hold contents of interest on other individuals. Be sure the years match those you are interested in.
- Overview: provides the size of the collection (usually in linear feet or number of boxes), its creator, and a brief abstract.
- Administrative information: details guidelines for citation and any access restrictions.
- Historical or biographical note: summarizes the life of an individual or the history of an institution and can serve as a starting point for further biographical research.
- Scope and content note: describes the content of the collection including topics, types of materials, and years covered.
- Arrangement: lists the hierarchical order of the collection as it has been arranged in the archive.
- Box and folder list: details the box and/or folder numbers of the collection and their contents.
Knowing these essential parts of a finding aid can help you decide if a collection is relevant and which boxes or folders to request when onsite. It is important to note that access policies vary by institution and /or by collection, so you should make sure you are able to access a collection before visiting the institution.
