Western Civilization course notes

Collection

Identifier: A106

Overview

Beginning in the 1972-1973 academic year, Northeastern's history department offered a two-semester course in Western Civilization that surveyed the major ideas and institutions of Western Civilization from ancient times to the present. Faculty-prepared course note packets were compiled for each unit and included selections from primary and secondary sources, study questions, and summaries of major themes covered. These course packets were published by Northeastern beginning in 1972 and in use, sometimes in revised form, into the early 1980s. The Western Civilization course, as it was described in the 1972-73 course catalog, continued to be offered through the 1988-1989 academic year.
