    With sound and film clips, quotes, pictures, and documents, this website provides primary documents for time periods and cultures ranging from the ancient world to the 20th century. A great site for middle school social studies on up, the site is nicely organized and has monthly focus topics.

    I highly recommend this site to social studies teachers.  Many of the events featured on this site are so relevant to discussions when learning about these historical periods.  If you follow a time line as you teach history, this site will thrill you with some fabulous videos, quotes, photos, sights, sounds and eyewitness accounts that will help highlight and help explain history.

    This site is INCREDIBLE! The format is student-friendly and easy to navigate. There are numerous 1st-hand accounts of memorable moments in history, from a transcript of a dinner with Attila the Hun, to video of the Hindenburg explosion. Students can search through events from many countries, centuries, and eras, including the Civil War era and the Old West. Photos and radio broadcasts are also available. I especially enjoy the format of the homepage, which includes interesting tabs such as "Spotlight On" (i.e., Spotlight on History's Bad Guys) and "Notable Quotes."

    This site had a lot of great information and first hand accounts of events in history. Included various sources, photos, videos, radio broadcasts, maps and many more. The index was detailed and well organized, I liked how it highlighted topics that were interactive. The photo of the week was also a nice feature, this could be used to start a discussion with students on the photo and get their reactions to it.
