The Museum of Underwater Archaeology  (MUA) is pleased to announce that “Holding History in Your Hand” classroom learning kits are now ready for shipping world wide.  Due to the generous contributions of materials we can now offer these kits to classrooms to keep for future use free of charge.  We do require nominal shipping costs.* The kits include modern artifacts similar to those found on many historic shipwreck sites and supporting documents such as a lesson plan and artifact analysis guides, videos to supplement class discussion, book marks, word searches and more.   Instructions for adapting the kit to various age groups from 10 to 18 years are included.  For further information please see our updated brochure at:

The MUA staff has conducted the “Holding History in Your Hand” exercise for hundreds of school children with great success.  We look forward to sharing this activity which teaches students how underwater archaeologists learn about our past through material culture.

Best regards,
