National September 11 Memorial & Museum - 1 views

    This is so amazing and moving. There are links to various types of artifacts concerning 9/11. There are audio recordings of people who have lost loved ones or who lived in the area and all types of things. I think this would be a great way to bring 9/11 alive for students. By listening to what life was like before and how it felt after 9/11.

    This is LIFE magazine's photo archive. I love this site because it has everything. Yu can photos for recent history as well as anything from the past. It has a great search option.
