    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 is s group of newspaper and magazine articles from African American issues to cartoon historical articles. It includes magazines for fashion in the 30's and earlier. It has movie reviews and music history. In other words, just about anything in history that one would like to look up in the newspaper or magazines. These sites are very good for students to see first hand information about a particular time in history. These kinds of sites can be used for almost any kind of project the teacher can think up. The teacher librarian needs to be aware of at least a few of these different kinds of sites.

    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.
