This is a neat site, it is one that I keep meaning to use with my students and forget about. Thank you for the reminder. I am going to use it with a project that we are working on right now.
Excellent collection of sources. As a social studies teacher a few years ago, this would have been a great site to use in class as students did research. Thanks for the share.
