http://www.digitalvaults.org/ A great website that utilizes over 1200 documents from the National Archives to teach history. You can participate in, or create your own Pathways Challenge. A Pathways Challenge is series of clues that reveals relationships between photographs, documents, and other records. You can also create a poster or movie to share your information.

[|CSI for the History Teacher] The Hist  orical Scene Investigation Project (HSI) was designed for social studies teachers who need a strong pedagogical mechanism for bringing primary sources into their classroom. With the advent and accessibility of the internet, many libraries, universities and government agencies are housing their historical documents online. Simultaneously, there has been a push in K-12 history education to give students experiences that more closely resemble the work of a real historian.

[|America's Library] This Web site is brought to you from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., the largest library in the world and the nation's library. Here, you can discover what Abraham Lincoln had in his pockets on the night he was assassinated. (You will be surprised.) Or you can read about other "[|Amazing Americans]" such as Buffalo Bill Cody and his "Wild West" show; the heroism of Harriet Tubman, who helped many slaves escape bondage; the music of jazz great Duke Ellington; or the inventions of Thomas Edison.
