"Funded with a grant from the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Program, Digital Docs in a Box was designed for teachers who, like us, find the digital documentary process in social studies rewarding but time consuming. Currently on the site are five digital documentary kits *. Within each kit, there are a collection of annotated documents, images and audio clips primarily from the Library of Congress-all resources are copyright free and easily downloadable. To orient both the teacher and students, we have also provided both an overview of the kit and an introduction to the collection. Our hope is that by providing this resource, we can assist teachers to efficiently and effectively engage their students in the documentary process."
