PRIZE PAPERS PROJECT
This event is run in partnership with Dr. Silke Bakenhus, who leads the project 
QuaSU
 (Quellenarbeit im Sachunterricht/working with historical sources in primary school) and works at Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg, Faculty I Department of Education and Social Sciences, in the Department of Primary Education and Social Studies.
As part of the 
Prize Papers Project
 collaborative network, QuaSU explores how historical sources—such as letters and logbooks—can be used in primary education, developing age-appropriate learning tasks and teaching materials to introduce children to historical topics.

The Prize Papers Project is an international, collaborative project based at the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and The National Archives, UK, directed by the historian Prof. Dr. Dagmar Freist and her research team. The project, which runs for 20 years, is financed by the Union of the German Academies of Sciences and Humanities, and it is attached to the Academy of Lower Saxony in Göttingen. It aims to catalogue, preserve and digitise the Prize Papers collection, held at TNA. The collection contains letters, ship's logs and personal belongings of global origin, seized by the English and later British Navy between 1652 and 1815 during the legal practice of prize-taking as well as the subsequent court proceedings at the High Court of Admiralty. This extensive collection of sources offers extraordinary insights into the daily lives, global connections, colonial entanglements and confrontations of the early modern world.
