This website is a database devoted to historical spoken-word materials. The search engine is still underdevelopment but there is a "galleries" link to find resources. This is an amazing site for students to explore and hear the actual words spoken by historical figures they read about in textbooks. Historical Voice is supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

To find original historical documents this is the site to visit. It contains the most famous Bill of Rights and US Constitution as well as famous letters such as one written by Elvis to President Nixon and speeches like the WWII Infamy speech given by FDR. Students viewing these actual documents will help bring reality to the people and events in history.
