‪Lincoln Assassination Eyewitness (Feb 9, 1956)‬‏ - YouTube - 2 views

  •  
    1950s game show appearance of witness to Lincoln Assassination.  Not many people would believe that one person can connect the mid 19th century and the age of television. This can also show students that there are different qualities to primary sources - some primary sources are more valuable than others. This is a primary source because he was a witness, but he is remembering something from 100 years ago. Is he still a primary source?

Using Primary Sources - For Teachers (Library of Congress) - 0 views

  •  
    This is a guide to creating lessons using primary sources provided by the Library of Congress. They've just started a new initiative helping teachers use primary sources in the classroom; I went to the site they're set up but there wasn't much there. Maybe it will grow in time.

Reading Primary Source Documents - 1 views

  •  
    Has some good questions for students to ask themselves when evaluating primary sources. Such a difficult skill to train students to do - it seems to me though that historical knowledge is vital for students to be able to analyse and evaluate sources effectively.

Exploration and Colonization Primary Sources|Teach Tennessee History - 0 views

    I include this in the collection not just because of the great primary sources, but because it demonstrates the value of smaller collections. State and local historical archives often have digitized content they make available for free, or for a nominal usage fee. Just remember to cite your source for any content you use.

The Pamphlet Collection - 2 views

    "The Library holds 90,000 old pamphlets, many published in the 19th century or the early part of the 20th century. This is primary source material, published and written by pressure groups, political parties and individual campaigners." I'm getting lazy, letting the sources speak for themselves. Oh well.
