Our Documents is a national initiative on American history, civics, and service.Our Documents invites all Americans to participate in a series of events and programs to generate thinking, talking, and teaching about the rights and responsibilities of US citizens. There are 100 milestone documents of American history that reflect American diversity and unity, our past and future.
Our Documents offers a number of ways to read these milestone documents, consider their meaning, discuss them, and decide which are the most significant and why.
Our Documents includes all the resources you need to participate in the initiative. A valuable resource for working with the 100 milestone documents in the classroom is the downloadable 76-page OurDocuments.gov Teacher Sourcebook in PDF.
