I thought this site was unique because the documents focused on children throughout the world. You can browse by region or do a specific search. I think children would really like this site because it would be interesting to learn about children in history and see how they could relate it to their life.

I liked how when you first are on this site you are given a map of the world and can pick your documents from the various areas of the world. You can also search by time, topic or type of item. This site is very visual when searching which I enjoyed.

This is a good site with lots of world history documents. You can search by region or time period. This site also has a guide for how to analyze the various types of primary sources, each of the guides include an introduction, questions to ask and some additonal resources.

I liked this site and the concept behind it, the site takes documents and puts together historial thinking exercises. You can be an image detective and pick a photo and the site will ask you questions and make you think about what you are looking at and draw your own conclusions. The site really uses critical thinking skills and makes students think about the documents they are looking at.

This site is a collection of 100 milestone documents that was compiled by the National Archives and Records Administration. The documents are from U.S. history from 1776 to 1965. This site has some great ideas and tips for teachers and librarians as well.

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.

This would be a great site for more elementary aged students, there's a lot of good information but not enough to overwhelm younger kids. You can look at profiles of different famous people, get information on the states, look at different time periods and also look at games, hobbies and music, which would probably appeal to kids. One feature I thought was unique was where you could enter your birthday and it would bring up information for that date.

I thought this was a good resources for documents dealing with the Holocaust. The online exhibitions are on many different topics and cover a lot of information. They include photographs, video, audio, maps, and transcripts of interviews. Each subject topic also has listing of related publications and websites for each subject. There is also a Holocaust Encyclopedia and a learning site for students specifically where you can browse different subject areas or by document type. One that I found interesting was browsing by ID cards where you can look at different individuals and it would give their photo and story and background information.

I really liked this site, I thought the features on it were different and it was very visual. You can shuffle and look at random documents or use the search function. When you are looking at an item there are tags you can click on to look at similar items and also additonal links for related websites. You can add documents to your "collection" by dragging the image. There is also a backtrack function where you can look at all the documents you've look at incase you can't find something you previously saw and didn't move to your collection. There are pathway challenges which are an activity using documents and you can also create posters or movies.

Library of Congress has a wide variety of primary sources, including photographs, maps, audio, video and others. You can search by subject or by type of source, so if you want students to find photographs they can search for those only.
