This site has great resources for teaching history, civics, or government. There are many primary documents for students to see and lots of ideas for teachers. There are state standards and lesson ideas. Lessons are provided for different eras and there is a link to DocsTeach where teachers can create their own documents or search for something they can use. I think this site would be very helpful.

Reproducible copies of primary sources for teachers to use in their classrooms.  Website is well organized by topics and dates with many primary sources to use in classrooms or in the library to help students with research. Documents from the holdings of the National Archives of the United States.

National Archives website with a lot of great resources.  Lesson plans & activities to help planning lessons around primary sources, school tours and activities, links with help to use primary sources.  There are also featured activities and resources.  Not to mention professional development opportunities!

Archives.gov offers a section designed just for educators. There are lesson plans and reproducible sources that can be used to teach American History. Teachers can find lessons based on specific historical time periods. Educators can also find professional development opportunities. There is a section for state and regional primary resources, but I noticed that Nebraska is not on the list.

The National Archives provides many primary documents.  Looking at the site, I also found the teacher resource section really helpful.  Some of the things that can be found there are how to find primary resources and how to use them. For teachers and librarian that are new to using this resource, or new a refresher, I think it will really benefit them.
