The National Archives' digital classroom for using primary sources. Activities and training for students and teachers. Link to another site for using primary sources, Docs Teach.

The exhibits on this site were awesome! From the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence to the Deadly Influenza Virus or Electing a President and Democracy; these were just a few among many that met indicators on my specific grade level, so I'm sure others would work for different elementary grades. My favorite part was the Eyewitness exhibit. It has links to all important moments in US History and has video, songs, and voice recordings to bring students into that very moment in time.

The NPAHE has links to Nebraska historical documents and photos along with connections to other events in US history. There are primary documents, links to additional resources and lesson plans to help put everything together.

An excellent site for social studies research with major documents from pre-colonial to the present. I searched for primary documents about the civil war and found this site.
