    The Truman Library provides some great lessons and primary documents for elementary to secondary students. Various documents can be found including cartoons, audio clips, print resources, and photographs. A chronology of events during Truman's presidency highlights his contributions to history. Great for history or government classes to explore.

    For students studying the Civil War, this is a great resource that details two communities, one in the North and one in the South. Through newspapers, letters, diaries, maps, and census and tax records, students can examine what life was like in this community and how war affected both sides, sometimes in unforeseen ways. This website would probably work better for high school students, but the information can be used for grades 7th and 8th also.

    EducationQuest is an excellent resource for Nebraska students transitioning from high school to college. It can help those looking at community colleges as well as universities seek sources for school funding.

    There several ways to search the FBI-by category, keyword, site map, and A-Z index. Most of the primary resources are documents from the FBI's files on a variety of people, from Lady Bird Johnson to Michael Jackson. Occasionally, there are things other than documents, like video of 9/11 attack. This site is mainly for grades 6-12 for American history.
