Massachusetts Historical Society: Thomas Jefferson Papers - 0 views

  • A manuscript copy written by Thomas Jefferson represents the Declaration as drafted by the Committee of Five, before the Continental Congress revised it.

      Great to use after handing out student copies of the Declaration of Independence. Could use this draft to compare to the final draft that appears in their social studies book.
  •  
    This is another terrific resource for social studies, in our presidents unit and our unit on the Revolutionary War. I like that you can complete a search for a particular word or phrase in a given document. I also love that students are able to search his books and architectural drawings as well, making Jefferson seem more like an actual man who had hobbies and talents.

      Good connection to writing here; even the founding fathers needed to go through the writing process before they were ready to "turn in" (submit) their "final draft" of the Declaration of Independence.

    This website is a collection of manuscripts, letters, maps, printed pamphlets, etc. ranging from 1943 through the present time. This site seems to mainly focus on the Revolution, Civil War, and Reconstruction eras. One nice feature for educators is their unit lessons on popular historical events in history. Each unit is provided with visual aids, primary sources, and other learning tools associated with the topic.

It also allows the user to access historic documents by collection or access through online exhibitions and encouraging the use of interactive learning tools such as videos, testimony, and timelines.

LOUISiana Digital Library - 1 views

    The Louisiana Digital Library features digital collections of maps, manuscripts (letters, diaries, etc.), images/photos, video/audio recordings, newspapers and more. Collections can be accessed by topic, institution, media format, geographic focus, and time period. The time period collection includes a great visual time line with prominent historical events featured for easy acquisition. This would be useful for student/educator historical research; jazz music and New Orleans culture as well as state hurricane information. Many collections would be beneficial in establishing of geographic/cultural context for several literature connections.
