"Primary Source promotes history and humanities education by connecting educators with people and cultures throughout the world."

PrimaryAccess is a suite of free online tools that allows students and teachers to use primary source documents to complete meaningful and compelling learning activities with digital movies, storyboards, rebus stories and other online tools.

These Primary Source Sets are compiled and written for educators. However, we think these collections will be of interest to many groups of users. Check out these additions to the growing list of primary source sets, selected primary sources from the rich collections of the Library of Congress on a particular curricular topic. Designed for quick and easy download, each set includes a teacher's guide to historical context, teaching tips and analysis guides, and a graphic organizer to deepen student engagement with these rich artifacts from the past. Here are the newest topics: + The Industrial Revolution in the United States Maps, songs, photos, and political cartoons tell the story of the United States' transition to an industrial nation. + The New Deal Photographs, posters, oral histories, and music recount how Federal programs sought to end the Great Depression.
