Consider this the official Backstage Crew uniform. If you believe in deconstructing the past rather than just reciting it, this gear is for you. These pieces are designed for the historians, the analysts, and the supporters of our collaborative approach to the American story.

We treat history as a craft, and that includes supporting the preservation and accessibility of the primary sources that make our work possible. That’s why 50% of all profits from the Souvenir Stand are donated directly to The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

We chose this partnership because they are the gold standard for history literacy, providing an archive of over 85,000 documents that offer the vital "backstage" access necessary for deep analysis. Your support helps maintain their mission of providing free history education to students and teachers nationwide—from digital primary source access and student online courses to comprehensive AP study guides.
