THE NATIONAL Commission for Culture and the Arts and National Committee on Historical Research partnered to launch sourcebooks to aid teachers.

NCHR head Dr. Emmanuel Calairo said the e-book titled “Philippine History Source Book” will help teachers educate students about the history and culture of the Philippines.

Calairo said that the 651-page book will set the standard on what historical readings should be given priority.

The NCCA said that the learning material is composed of various readings on the pre-Spanish period; Spanish period: 16th-18th century; 19th century; Philippine Revolution; Philippine-American War; American period; Commonwealth; Japanese occupation; Postwar period: 1946-1972; 1972-1986; and 1986-present.

The history departments of the Ateneo de Manila University, De La Salle University, Silliman University, and the University of the Philippines-Diliman collaborated on the project.
