Collection Description

The Long Trip is a Bank Street tradition designed to expose teachers to new physical, social and political environments. Beginning in 1935, founder Lucy Sprague Mitchell led student teachers on field trips to sites where they encountered issues of the day such as the labor movement, poverty, conservation, and race relations and their effect on the lives of children and their families. The Long Trip Collection contains photographs from scrapbooks and albums documenting these early Long Trips.
