Question:
Hi! I am interested in the history of resource "toolkits" in general; can you point me in the direction of where this concept derived from? Thanks!!
Answer:

Hi Coco,
Thank you for visiting the Community Tool Box and for your inquiry to Ask an Advisor. Interesting question, but I'm not sure I can be of much help to you given that I don't actually know much about the history of resource toolkits other than ours. As a starting point for your research I invite you to take a deeper dive into our history. Go to the Community Tool Box home page and click on the "About the tool box" button at the top of the page, the button that is second from the right. Next, click on "About the Tool Box" which will tell you what it's all about and why it was developed; Christina Holt's video is very enlightening. Another interesting page within "About the tool box" is "Who we are." This will provide you with information on the Community Tool Box team, who our partners are, and where we get our funding. Out of curiosity, I just did a quick Google search, "history of resource toolkits" and came up with a number of other types of toolkits from K-12 education and the like (e.g., New York State K-12 Social Studies Resource Toolkit, Resource Toolkits - Centre for Suicide Prevention, Toolkits and Resources - Greenpeace International, et al.). By looking at a variety of resource toolkits and triangulating the information gleaned therefrom you will get a better sense of the types of toolkits that are available, why they're developed, and who develops them. With that Coco I thank you for your inquiry and wish you much success in your research. Best to you.
