    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.

    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 has photographs of very thought provoking images of the concentration camps. They are graphic in nature and may be upsetting to some. They would be a wonderful supplement to any study of WWII. It gives a small glimpse of how horrific the conditions were for the Jewish prisoners.

    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.

    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 would be a great resource when studying explorers. There are letters and journals written by explorers that students can read that date further back than Christopher Columbus. The articles might give the reader a better idea of how the people were feeling while they were on these explorations.

    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.

    This great site allows teachers to visit work of famous artists right in their classrooms. One of my favorite exhibits is that of artist Norman Rockwell showing a slideshow of his most popular pieces of work.
