    This college textbook publisher site has primary sources on several different events in Europe - see http://college.cengage.com/history/west/resources/students/primary/index.html for an index. The text is here, no imagery, but for high school teachers, there is a lot of good information here.

    Next time you are in Chicago, go to the Oriental Museum at the University of Chicago - incredible! But until then, check out their website for images of artifacts, maps, video interviews with archaeologists, and lesson plans.

    David Kinnison was the longest-lived participant of the Boston Tea Party, living to be 115 years old which is old in any decade! Here is text of an interview Kinnison did with John Lossing, author of The Pictorial Field-book of the Revolution, in 1850.

    This one I am tagging partly for the sake of how entertaining it is. There really are vintage commercials here and you can watch them start to finish. I think these would be applicable in the classroom when talking about how advertising works, etc. or when talking about social culture and how it's changed over time.

    This site describes how and why the US census is taken. It includes state and US facts as well as quizzes for kids to take. This site would fit well into 4th or 5th grade social studies units, but I think 3rd graders might enjoy it too.

    This NASA site would be great for 4th and 5th grades. It talks about how NASA studies different parts of the Earth. It includes a "Picture of the Day" and a "Did You Know!" section. I also like how it include career ideas for kids to read about. I can see this being used as part of a learning station.

    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 is another portal with a ton of great links. There is a page full of links for educators and then drop down menus that separate K-6 and 7-12. In these drop-down menus are links to entire pages of websites devoted to topics like the government, history, the military, math, and science. Not all of these sites have government documents, but many of them do.

    This site has been of interest to every teacher I tell about it. It contains virtual trips of a large variety of books for all age groups. You need google maps to use this site as it is map based. Takes books to where they take place and shows you on the map or with photos of what the characters would see. A new way to look at books.

    I really like this site. It has information on the current Iditarod dog race in Alaska. There are blogs you can follow and a special "Teacher on the Trail" section that is specific to helping classes follow the race, and understand it. There is a reading project, a writing to the mushers project, and virtual field trips.

    This website offers powerful images touching on current events from around the world. While the text would be challenging for most of my elementary students; I think the images are so telling that they would be a useful tool to teach students how to read pictures and some other powerful visual and media literacy skills.

    The map lover in me is enthralled with this website. The site contains detailed historical maps organized by themes like "Environmental History" and "The Historical Geography of Transportation". Each map then has links to lesson plans organized by K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 with links to additional, applicable primary sources. The site also includes helpful tips for teachers and a useful glossary.

    I really liked the teacher resources on this site. It was applicable for any grade, and was broken up into how much time you would like to spend. There are also a variety of multimedia resources. This was and interesting series as it looks at what scientists and engineers do outside the lab, and how it can relate back to their work. There are also a wide variety of careers and ages of individuals interviewed.
