bring pandemic perspectives to your classroom

The Pandemic Perspectives exhibit is a great tool for teaching about pandemic and public health history in your classroom. It utilizes the field of Narrative Medicine to compare the experiences of tuberculosis and Covid-19 pandemics and can be adapted to fit the subjects of history, english, creative writing and more.
This curriculum kit can be used online with the digital file below or in person with our traveling exhibit. Please note the traveling exhibit and classroom files are
the original installation of Pandemic Perspectives and do not match the
public online exhibit or the new exhibit installation at the Saranac Laboratory (coming January 2022).
Below you will find suggested resources and materials to use alongside the exhibit. Please contact Mahala Nyberg at mahala@historicsaranaclake.org with questions or to schedule the traveling exhibit.
The materials below are a suggested curriculum. We are happy to work with you to
shape this curriculum to fit your students.
