Both Lampert and Ball had portions of their archives digitized (5th
and 3rd grade class respectively - a grad student, Ruth Heaton taught
4th and turned her experience into a thesis and a book) and used them
at Michigan State and later at the University of Michigan. In either
case this was a small proportion of what was available and much of it
has never been made more generally available. Lampert hosted a
conference in the late 90s and there were discussions about how to
made such materials more generally available - there was a contingent
from the Netherlands (the Freudenthal Institute) that had engaged in
building a massive archive - however, I don't think much came of
that. It is an interesting archive for a number of reasons; however,
one is that it is a moderately complete record of teaching
mathematics over a complete school year.
