In summer, 2002, the Education Division of the Special Libraries Association held a panel presentation on "Historical and Archival Collections in Education." From that session developed this article which discusses the need for finding aids, publicity, creative uses of the web, and collaborative ways to deal with these issues. Specific references to finding aids and web sites of interest to education historians and librarians, and brief descriptions of several special collections of historical education materials are included. Also highlighted is a new service, an exchange registry, which offers institutions a way to place materials where they are most needed.
