This volume includes an interesting and diverse collection of conference presentations. From the historical examination of curriculum in specific schools, to the biographical study of curriculum leaders, to the historical analysis of influential curriculum movements and documents, the Society discusses topics that heretofore had been left unattended within the traditional area of educational history. Another conscious effort has been to provide an international perspective to the study of curriculum history. In addition, the Society has invited 'the elder statespersons' of curriculum to discuss the formative years of the field. These papers represent the highest standards of current research in curriculum history. Co-published with the Society for the Study of Curriculum History.
