| American Memory-Historical Collections from the Library of Congress | Offers primary source materials that make history come alive for students of all ages. There are lesson ideas here as well, with even more coming from the teachers who were selected as American Memory Fellows. The Fellows are creating (and will soon be posting on this site) interdisciplinary lesson plans that use these primary source materials. | |
| The Ancient World Web Meta Index: The Ultimate Index of All Things Ancient | A marvelous site with hundreds of relevant links-everything from Aboriginal resources to Zoroastrianism, the ancient religion of Persia! You will find some expired links that were parts of research studies that have since ended or have lost grant money, but there are mostly live, updated links here. This site is a must-see for teachers of all content areas. | |
| Archiving Early America | Lets students see real historical documents shown in JPEG and PDF formats. | |
| The Index of Native American Resources on the Internet | Links to Native American history, culture, language, museums, and more. | |
| K-5 CyberTrail: Multicultural Curriculum Resources | A good source for teachers of all subject areas, not just teachers of social studies. | |
| Kathy Schrock's Guide for Educators: History and Social Studies | A comprehensive site broken down into three categories: American History Sites, General History and Social Studies Sites, and World History Sites. This is a great starting place when searching for good social studies sites. | |
| The Universal Black Pages | Many wonderful links to African-American history. | |
| U.S. Historical Documents | Contains the texts of documents from the pre-colonial era to the present day. Students can read everything from the Magna Carta to Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech. | |
| Voices of Youth | Hosted by UNICEF, this is an electronic discussion about global issues involving children around the world. There is also a forum where teachers share how they use the Internet to teach global studies. | |
