  •  
    Not only does this site have primary sources in text, audio, video, and images, but also, silent movies, archived web pages, historical software, and animation/cartoons. Grades 1-12 could easily find interesting primary sources for their projects. Students will enjoy an occasional old cartoon, like Why We Have Elections, that teaches about the election process, and can be taught about primary sources, too.

EuroDocs: Online Sources for European History - 0 views

  •  
    This excellent site links the searcher to primary documents, images, etc. from libraries, archives, schools, and governments all over Europe, but everything is in English, usually with the native language included. The toolbox on the left helps, particularly special pages. This site is probably best used for researching cultures, history, and geography.

PBS: Public Broadcasting Service - 1 views

    The primary sources at this site are usually viewed in video form in clips from the various PBS documentary programs. Suggest you search like so, "primary sources" + "grade 3", inserting what ever grade you need. PBS Teachers can be accessed from this site, too, to search for good lesson plans for grades 1-12 related to primary sources. The search here can be narrowed down by grade level. This site is good for teaching about people, places, events, animals, inventions, and cultures.
