Excellent collection of primary source sets on women's suffrage. Interestingly, it shows the counter-movement against women's suffrage by some women. Fascinating stuff.

"Millions of Americans fought and died during the Civil War, and the legacy of the Civil War remains in the poetry and music left behind. Music was used extensively during the Civil War as a means of inspiring loyalty among the troops, and as a source of inspiration and motivation during marching. Poetry was written to encourage unity, to document the experiences of soldiers, and to share women's place in the war. Bands on both sides would frequently borrow songs and lyrics from the other side, using them as parodies. One such tune was "Dixie", though the song was created some period of time before the Civil War, it gained in popularity during this time. "Dixie" originally tells the story of a freed black slave yearning to return home to the simple life of the plantation, both the North and South however, created their own wartime versions. "The Battle Cry of Freedom" and "Home Sweet Home" also featured both Union and Confederate versions. "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The Southern Cross," were poems that were later set to music."

A nice collection of photographs from the women's suffrage movement.

Such a tragedy

Seems to be more of a guide to primary source research rather than a source site itself.

This very useful site has been around for a while yet recently has updated its format and design. Excellent site for sources on American history.

Thanks for the link, David. Actually, the site now also has tons of world history content. See our Features on Chinese history, Indian history, Women's history, Islamic history, and more.

When teachers more broadly realise how many brilliant resources there are like this out there the days of the boring textbook lesson will be numbered!

"The NAWSA Collection consists of 167 books, pamphlets and other artifacts documenting the suffrage campaign." Run by the Library of Congress.

"The Library of Congress has extensive and varied resources related to the campaign for woman suffrage in the United States." There you go.

Contains collections on World War I, the Depression, Women's Lib and Honest Abe, among others. I'd imagine it will grow with time. I've actually found Flickr much better as a source of quality historical images than Google Images or Wikimedia Commons.
