    Fantastic resource. "SEVENTEEN MOMENTS IN SOVIET HISTORY was funded by a generous educational development grant from the National Endowment for Humanities (NEH). The project was directed and created by James von Geldern (Macalester College) and Lewis Siegelbaum (Michigan State University). Since 2007, Kristen Edwards (Menlo College) has collected materials for the website from the Hoover Archives and Stanford Libraries."

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.

Home - Journalist's Resource Journalist's Resource: Research for Reporting, from Harvar... - 1 views

  •  
    "Based at Harvard's Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, the Journalist's Resource project examines news topics through a research lens. We surface scholarly materials that may be relevant to media practitioners, bloggers, educators, students and general readers. Our philosophy is that peer-reviewed research studies can, at the very least, help anchor journalists as they navigate difficult terrain and competing claims. In 2013 the American Library Association named us one of the best free reference Web sites."
