Historical documents live and breathe on this site, and just a bit of technology makes them truly shine. Created by the National Archives, this site brings together thousands of documents for use by educators and students. First-time visitors are encouraged to start with the Find Activities area. Here, they can look through different historical eras, such as Civil War and Reconstruction and The Emergence of Modern America, for dozens of sample activities that draw on photographs, letters, wills, legal documents, and much more. Visitors can also browse through the items by tool type, such as Focusing on Details and Interpreting Data. Visitors can even use the Create Your Own Tool feature to use existing documents to create a personal and helpful instructional activity.
