    The American Memory collection is such a treasure trove, including this old photograph of Sioux City (as well as many other Iowa towns). This would be really useful in a unit about local history or even for younger students, talking about communities and maps. Students would find it interesting to match up today's view of the city with this one.

    This site caught my attention because the letters are from an Iowa soldier. He was actually from my grandmother's home town. The site shows pictures of the soldier and the women he was sending them to. It has the original letters along with lesson plan ideas for teachers how to use them with a class.

    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.
