Ellis+Island+Field+Study


 * Ellis Island Field Study **

On December 5th our TAH participants braved the elements and joined Dr. Jeffrey Trask, NYU Assistant Professor of Museum Studies for afield experience at Ellis Island. We really got an insiders look as we were escorted down halls not usually opened to the public to have our session with Dr. Trask in the Ferry Terminal Building's Conference Hall. We all gained new insights about Ellis Island that go far "beyond the textbook," and the handouts Dr. Trask provided will lead to provocative classroom discussion.

**NEW !**




Here are a few of the pictures from that day.
