Smithsonian's History Explorer is a full-featured search tool for all the educational resources from the National Museum of American History. History Explorer was developed by the museum to offer K-12 teachers and students hundreds of free, innovative online resources for teaching and learning American history.

The resources found at History Explorer focus on learning history by "reading objects for the stories they hold about the nation and its many peoples." Artifacts selected from over 3 million items in the museum's collections are featured in the learning activities that draw on the knowledge and skills of the Smithsonian Museum's curatorial staff.
