- Primary Source documents: an exhaustive site for teacher and older students. Begins at 500 BC and keeps going. Organizing principle is "documents that pertain to Early American history. Obviously, a broad view of our "roots!"
- Another massive site: teacher's use, probably, initially, although you'll use it to find sites for your children to read. If they want to read the originals, here they are!
