One
day this old vet will sit atop a vast and
nimble collection of American History links.
But for the moment, he just sits there shaking
his grizzled head. First question you
need to ask yourself is, do
you really want to be here?
| indexes of US History sites | Basically a collection of collections; many are maintained by major universities, others are built by individuals, interest groups, secondary schools, museums and historical associations. | |
| US History Documents |
Sites
which are mainly collections of primary
source documents: speeches, letters,
essays, journals, etc.
|
|
| US History: artwork, photos & maps | What it sounds like; remember that the usefulness of theses images to you may be limited by your printer capabilities! | |
| Colonial Era Sites |
Includes
pre-Columbian history, the slave trade,
the Revolutionary War, and the Constitution;
this excellent and extensive list is
from the University of Kansas
|
|
| Revolutionary War Era |
Once
again, unabashed plagiarism, borrowed
shamelessly from the University of Kansas
site
|
|
| 19th Century & Civil War |
Hmm.
These must be sites mainly concerning
the 1800's
|
|
| 20th Century | Uh... the 1900's? |
The Library of Congress Plenty of stuff here; especially useful is the American Memory site, a searchable magazine-style homepage for US History and culture
University of Kansas Gigantic. At 28.8 speed, give it nearly a minute. It opens at the general US History section, from which you can scroll down to various chronological and thematic sub-sections. Worth the wait.
D. Boals American History Excellent links, with good descriptions; designed for teachers, but lots of good stuff here for projects
History Links from U. of Indiana
Federal agency resources: social studies Your tax dollars at work; excellent history sources mixed in with a zillion other things; has good search engine
The Avalon Project at the Yale Law School Wow! An extensive database of documents, mainly on US History. And this stuff is free!?
Groningen's US History Documents Weird. A Dutch university puts together one of the best sites for American history documents. Lots here, and well-organized, by era
Perno's Primary Sources Nice little collection maintained by an A.P. teacher in FloridaDouglass: Great Speeches Site includes famous speeches and writings from such historical figures as Jane Addams, John Calhoun, and Frederick Douglass.
The American 1950's A large, well-organized collection maintained by the University of Pennsylvania
