We had a similar thing here in Canada...in 1971 history class we had to make our own as a project. A friend and I chose to do the history of the town we went to school in and got a perfect mark, much to our surprise, perfect marks not given out freely in those days. It was a lot of fun to do! I also used them as a teacher later on, but can’t remember what they were called. Any Canadians remember?

Yes! They were truly brilliant. Honestly, I think they inspired all my subsequent interest in history, and especially in archives. If it wasn't for the Jackdaw folders I would never have become our de facto family archivist.

I see there are still American Jackdaws. I wish we still had ours in the UK.
