    This site includes material about famous Americans. This site would work for any reports about presidents, about authors, or about musicians. It would also be helpful when researching the various states. As an American Literature teacher I would use the site to have students research Langston Hughes, for instance. That would also be a great source for Black History Month.

    This site is developed for kids by the Library of Congress. There is animation, games and videos that bring an appeal to this site. Research and learn about Amazing Americans, sports, past events, explore the states and various forms of media and music. Fourth graders in Lincoln research a state and biographies. Have them visit this fun site for some great facts.

    This site is geared for children. It has famous people, places, hobbies, and different time periods to explore. This is a good site to share with kids because it is easy to understand and use as a research tool.

    A primary source site concerning the Nazi's murder of the mentally ill during World War II. I would use these primary documents during the study of WWII so students become more aware of Hitler's view of those who are disabled.

    This site is a collection of advertisments from the early 1900s to the late 1950s. The advertisments are sorted by year and the subject. Some of the advertisments you can find on this site is beauty and hygenine, radio, television, transportation, and World War II. Students would love this site because they love to see how things have changed.

    Although this site focuses on primary documents that orignated in California, there is some great primary documents from the Gold Rush, immigration, World War II, Pearl Harbor, and more. There are many quality photographs found on this site along with newspaper clippings from history.

    This is a great source when studying southern history, literature or culture. In this source you will find slave and other first-person narratives of the South, as well as a collection of southern literature. It could be used when studying the Civil War to get more of a southern point of view.

    Wow, who knew. Dr. Seuss was the chief editorial cartoonist for the New York paper for two years. This is an archive of the political cartoons he drew. This would be a really good site for middle school and high school students. It would put a different twist on Dr. Seuss Week for them.

    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.

    Site's front page uses timeline to break history of US into 7 eras; ie 1700-1815, 1815-1860 and so on. You can search by era, or by topic. Topics include Civil War, Holocaust, Vietnam Memorial and more. Documents can be zoomed in on enough to read legible writing.

    Thousands of narrative excerpts giving first person accounts of slavery and the individuals it affected. These are accounts of the cruelty and plantation life. There are also hundreds of photos of former slaves.

    This site contains narratives of past slaves that were created in the late 1930's. This site, which is a part of the Library of Congress, provides excellent primary sources that respresent a group of people whose voice was often not heard. Teachers and students could use this site when studying the Civil War and slavery, the Civil Rights movement, writing using dialect, to partner with an historical fiction novel that touches on the subject of slavery, and more.

    This site offers readers a chance to hear the voices of people the history textbooks have traditionally left out. Interviews done in the 1930's with former slaves are transcribed on this site, some with photographs of the former slave included. The transcripts are difficult to read because of dialect, racial slurs, and some troubling content. With teacher assistance, though, I think these transcripts could help students better understand life for slaves in our country's history.
  • Laura Horn on 26 Sep 10
     
    This site provides first-person accounts from former slaves. I have actually used this site in American Literature to show students what slaves went through. It gives them a voice and students have really connected with the slaves' stories. Students can find lots of material about slavery, but the first-person accounts make it much more personal.

    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.
  • Jennifer Misbach on 28 Sep 10
     
    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 is a WEALTH of information on the history of the United States. It includes letters, documents, photos, audio and video that are all in the public domain (and there fore also legal to use) since they are all owned by the U.S. government. Using the search box will yield many results. My favorite search on this site is to find primary sources about the great depression. A search tip: be sure to click "gallery view" when you look at your search results. It helps you know what type of source you are looking at.

    This site covers historical topics, contains historical images and has a special teacher page with lessons and materials that are ready to use in the classroom. I love this site and use it often especially when I need some extra material for historical holiday celebrations in the classroom.

    This website has loads of links to primary sources on US history. I like the flexibility of the "more browse options" to find collections by time period, place or source format in addition to the browse by topic option. Source formats include books, periodicals, photos and film, some dating back to the 1400's. The "today in history" link is a good place to find daily tidbits to throw into lessons.

    This site from the Library of Congress provides a vast collection of primary sources for educators. I like the way the site is organized so you can browse the collections by topic. One of the collection highlights is the Alfred Whital Stern Collection of Abraham Lincoln. This is a collection of more than 11,100 items donated to the Library of Congress in 1953. This collections includes Lincoln's life, Presidency, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Primary sources available from the Lincoln era include newspapers, Lincoln's law papers, sheet music, broadsides, prints, cartoons, maps, drawings, letters, and campaign tickets.

    There is a lot on this website for students to search for primary and government documents. They are organized by topic or you can search for specifically what you need. This site is a great resource . There are many different ways you could use the documents found here.

    This site provides information that teachers from many different disciplines could use in their classrooms. There's information about literature, the environment, immigration, as well as culture and sports. There's also a link specifically for teachers where they can get lesson plans and ideas for their classroom.

    There are some great sites at this source. Their topics run from Women's history to Native American history. There are even maps. This would be a big help for upper elementary to 12th grade.

    This seems to be a good site for U.S. history. It separates lessons by ERA. It incluseds worksheets for each ERA as well as documents which are related to the ERA. There are pictures from each of the ERAS and various teaching activities. I would use this site for the 9-12 grade student with the possibility of use with middle school students.

    This site has many primary documents throughout our history. There are 362 searchable primary document collections. As I looked through this site, it seemed to have a lot of photos throughout history. It would be a valuable resource to any multimedia project in the media center.

    This site includes digital photographs, sheet music and background information on artifacts. Researchers can locate primary sources by topic, such as African American, Asian Americans, Civil War, Native Americans, just to name a few. Photos can be enlarged and pdf sheet music can be printed. Great resource for history, art, and literature.

    Women were active members in the American Revolution. See how women doubled as spies to help their husbands, fathers, and neighbors persevere in the uncertainty of the war.
