Primary Source Sites

1) Our Documents.gov
http://www.ourdocuments.gov/
This site has a lot of great information, but it's greatest resource (for my purposes) is it's link to the Top 100 most influencial documents of our nations history called the "100 Milestone Documents".

2) The National Archives
http://www.archives.gov/
This site includes links to many primary source documents such as the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, the supply list for the Lewis and Clark expedition and more!!!

3) Archiving Early America
http://www.earlyamerica.com/
This site allows students to play an online game about Early America, watch movie clips, join online discussions, download music from Early America, and of course preview the documents that our country was founded upon.

4) The Constitution Center
http://www.constitutioncenter.org/explore/TheU.S.Constitution/index.shtml
This site has a link to a picture of the real Constitution. Students can also see how the Constitution has changed over the years using the "Constitutional Timeline". It also contains an "Interactive Constitution" where kids search the Constitution for specific language, topics, or by Supreme Court Cases.
