    The University of Iowa Archives have put online scans of Civil War diaries, including soldiers held at Andersonville Prison, with full transcriptions to make sense of that 1800s penmanship.

    David Kinnison was the longest-lived participant of the Boston Tea Party, living to be 115 years old which is old in any decade! Here is text of an interview Kinnison did with John Lossing, author of The Pictorial Field-book of the Revolution, in 1850.

    This website is a veritable prize for teaching the Civil War. There are full page scans of every weekly issue of Harper's Weekly during the Civil War. Beautiful line art and verbose writing style included for free. The site has Google ads, but no pop-ups at least, and the content is valuable enough to be worth wading through those. The site is easily navigated, so that isn't difficult. Great for writing Civil War DBQs.

    This site offers a plethora of primary source documents from the Civil War. From photographs to battle maps and diaries to speeches this site is a great resource for teaching students to do the real work of historians with primary sources. Instead of copying answers students can make their own, as McKenzie would say.

    An incredible number of primary sources can be found on this site regarding our first president. I was impressed with the "Educational Resources" that take some primary sources and scaffold teachers' use of them with students in grades 3-5 and middle/high school.

    This site has over 600 primary source documents from the time of Christopher Columbus to the Civil War. This would connect with 5th grade curriculum about the American Revolution and Native Americans. This would be a great resource to introduce to teachers and students.

    This is an amazing site with hundreds of annotated American political documents.  There are items written by Christopher Columbus, Cotton Mather, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and William Bradford.  This site would be very useful to a classroom teacher to show the actual documents that are discussed in a textbook.

    This site uses resources housed by the New York State Library. It is a lesson plan using newspaper articles from two New York newspapers from the late 1800s. The lesson plan includes the documents as well as activities using them. In addition to being a useful lesson plan for the Gilded Age and labor movements, it also serves a model for those wondering how to set up a unit using primary documents.

    This site includes diaries, autobiographies and travel accounts from ex-slaves. I would use this site in the study of the Civil War to give the students a better understanding of what the slaves thought of their situation.

    This site has different links for all age groups including safety tips, a day in the life of an agent and FBI history. This site could be used in conjunction with literature where students could compare the day in the life of a real FBI agent compared to a fictional agent in a novel. It could also be used with the study of government.
