==California State University San Marcos Library: http://library.csusm.edu/subject_guides/history/online_primary.asp#US==

====This site had some useful links for primary sources organized by world regions. Under the United States I checked some provided links. Site has links for the specific states. I found some good sources of information for colonial America when I followed []====

 * Ryan Hinton - I really liked that this website provided different links to primary sources that were categorized by their location around the world. This would be extremely useful for my World Culture's classes.

[]
====Ryan Hinton - I thought that this website was extremely useful being that I am from and teach in PA. I think there could potentially be some useful information here in terms of the local history project that we need to complete for this course. My students could definately use this in US History I as well.====
 * PA Historical and Museum Commission**

 * Kid's Search Tools**
 * Sharron Watson

Ten links to “deep web” sites that lead to loads of useful resources. I found the [|kids.gov] link to be the most immediately practical, with grade-band sections and a teachers section with content-based subsections. I even found a science section with links to sites that might be helpful for my project. Check this one out. For its diversity. ==[]==

 * Smithsonian Lesson Comparing Types of Primary Sources**
 * Sharron Watson

====**I might use this lesson to start next year off. It seems like a great introduction to the different types of sources available and teachers the students how to compare and look at them to get important information. I also like the fact that it could be used across many different grade levels and it seems like you could change the resources to meet the needs of your class, whatever the subject might be.**====

 * Ryan Hinton - I really liked the fact that there is a database for historical markers. I always like when my students come in and ask me about one of ours from the local area. Now it appears as though I will have an additional tool in my belt to assist them. Furthermore, if a marker is not located in the database, you have the ability to submit it for review so that it can be added. As a history teacher, and a history buff, I think that this is a great idea.

I liked this resource a great deal. It's always interesting to see markers on the side of the road and read about a little local history. With this, you aren't limited to just the markers around you, you can see what is all over the state. It kind of makes me want to take a road trip to see some of the other locations where markers exist and see with them with my own eyes.

Colonial Williamsburg ====This site is maintained by historic Colonial Williamsburg. What I liked about this site, is that it seems to have information for both younger and older students as well. There are a number of primary sources including documents and photogrpahs and images of authentic items from the colonial era. My intital reaction to this site is that it might be useful for a virtual field trip assignment.====
 * Ryan Hinton

====This is a very useful site that can be used by multiple levels and a great source of primary sources dealing with Williamsburg. I like the fact that it can be a great starting point for researching the history of Williamsburg because it covers a number of different topics and you can look around until you find something that you find interesting.====

National History Day
====In addition to providing information on National History Day, this site provides links to countless primary source sites as well as informational sites on history. The nice aspect of this site is that it is broken down in to different categories. I browsed some of the different pages from the site and thought that this would be a great starting point for a student looking for reliable online resources.==== This is a great source. I followed links to the Jamestown site, which had some primary sources that would be terrific for the early US history unit. I also went to the US War College site since it is nearby and my father in law is a retired Army historian. I shared this link in case he didn't have that information. This is definitely a good site.

Charters of Freedom
====This is an extremely useful pages located within the context of the entire Library of Congress website. The Charters of Freedom provides extremely useful information on our nation's most important documents. I have used it with my students for the past few years and it is, in my honest opinion, one of the best websites in terms of documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence.====

http://newdeal.feri.org/

 * Justina Reph

This site, since 2003, focuses on the Great Depression and is sponsored by the [|Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute] (which seems to be a useful site of its own). There are separate sections to phtographs, documents sorted into a wide variety of subjects, special features including a “Puzzlers” section, links to other resources and, perhaps the most immediately useful, a “classroom” section with lesson plans and other curriculum projects.

Explore PA History
I accessed this site and read about agriculture, which I could use with our PA history curriculum. This site has good links for PA history that would be appropriate for most grade levels. I used the site to find an historical marker related to my project -- this is the link[]

Growing a Nation
This agricultural history site has links to specific decades, as well as focus topics. I followed a link to "Life on the Farm" which gave a quick timeline to changes in rural farm life which students in my area could relate since we live in a rural area. The link I followed was [] ==Penn State University Library== On this site is many different docuents about agriculture. There are pictures, newspapers dating from 1955-1983. This would be a great site for anyone teaching Science, esp. agriculture in PA.

Indiana State Library
====This site is a list of resources available for basketball in Indiana. There are resources for biographies/books, microforms, videos, pictures,and web sites. This would be helpful for all different subject areas, it would depend on what they wanted to know about basketball. Math teachers could do something with the numbers, hirtory teachers could show research why this is such a huge sport in this area, etc.====

Indiana High School Athletic Association

 * Antonio

If you are interested in high school sports in Indiana, this site is the place to start. Having never looked into sports statistics in any detail, I was amazed at the volume of info available. It’s sorted by sport, gender, and school. You can find facts in different media formats, officials and what they do, calendars of upcoming and past events, and even write-ups on sportsmanship. For our purposes, the media releases and some of the history of athletics under the “schools” section are possibly the most relevant.

Marion Public Library
====This site is for a public library. This could be used for any subject. You can search what ever you want. I, of course, search for math and found a video on ratio and proportions in the real world. It was about a girl who went on three dates and she put her words spoken to their words spoken into a ratio. It was cute and I am sure my 7th graders would understand this idea. I think it is a good sute to search for different topics.==== .

Ohio Resource council
====This site offers great resources for any science teacher. I like that it offers many different areas of activities. It also appeals to many different grade levels and ages. Although the site is geared towards Ohio and many resources for that state, it really could be implemented in any state. The teacher may have to adapt some aspects, but for most of the site it could be a valuable resource.====

Cincinnati Museum Center
====The site for the Cincinnati Museum Center contains a broad range of knowledge on many museum activities. This museum would appeal to the history buff, aspiring scientist, animal lover, and artist. Many of the exhibits are interactive for all ages, from toddlers to seniors. One primary source I found was a video of a 14,000 acre nature preserve called The Edge of Appalachia. The "Edge" is a sanctuary for rare and endangered species. This preserve also protects 1,200 species of plants. This exhibit would most definitely attract the nature lover. What I like about this site is that it is appropriate for all ages and it covers many topics including Science, History, and Art.====

Ohio Science Museums
====This site is an excellent resource for exploring many areas of science. The site highlights science museums located in Ohio. There are several links to primary sources that provide information on specific exhibits. I followed the Great Lakes Science Center link which contained images related to exhibits such as the Indoor Tornado and the Shadow Room. You can also find information about advances in modern medicine as well as information on alternative energy. What I like most about the Ohio Science Museums site is that the primary sources are appropriate for all ages.====

Primary Sources Nexus
[] ====This site is an excellent resource for math teachers who would like to incorporate primary sources in their teaching. It includes mathematical photos of items like an old calculating box, math classes, and math schools, as well as math related art. The greatest value of this site is the lesson plans it provides for using primary sources in the teaching of math. One lesson uses the works of Leonardo DaVinci (sketches, etc.) and has students solve math problems related to the works. Another lesson uses Mexican pictograph documents and the Huexotzinco Code. There are also pictures to use in identifying geometric shapes and architectural drawings which students can use to find the area and volume of different buildings. A very cool resource for those teaching math!==== ==The Civil War in Pennsylvania== ====After exploring the website on the Civil War I realized it is a great resource for social studies teachers. This could be a great place for students and teachers to go to talk about Gettysburg. On the website students can view the first page on Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. There are also other great resources on this site. Some of the other resources include Jumping Back in Time and Meet Amazing Americans.==== ==Maps in Our Lives ==

Pennsylvania Old Photos
====This site is an great resource for old photographs in Pennsylvania. The site is organized into different cities and towns for easy navigation. There is a section for new pictures added, so this lets everyone know that photographs are added often. As many people are looking for pictures of their ancestors they should look here. This site also offers photos of natural disasters that occured in Pennsylvania. If you are looking for a different state this site offers links to them.====

==Examples of Primary Resources== ====This site provides an excellent overview of Primary Sources. Here, you will learn what primary sources are and how to use them. This information is very relevant to this course specifically since the use of primary sources will be necessary for the history project and because understanding primary sources is a main objective of this course. This site covers all types of primary sources including, written documents, audio documents, still photographs, and film.==== ==Historical Society of Dauphin County== ====This site is maintained by The Historical Society of Dauphin County & The John Harris-Simon Cameron Mansion. On the home page, there is a listing of upcoming events being held by the society. Two primary sources that the society has available for research and education purposes are photographs and what they call the archives. To view photographs, an appointment must be made in advance and the staff will pull photographs so that they are available at the time of the appointment. Two sample historical photographs appear on the page. The archives seem to be the most valuable primary source available through the society as the site lists that they include journals, photos, letters, diaries, manuscripts, legal documents, deeds, certificates, receipts, scrapbooks, yearbooks, and more. Request to view the archives are handled through the library and those who cannot visit Harrisburg can ask the librarian to conduct on-site research for a fee.====

Dauphin County Ancestry
====This site contains many resources for tracing genealogies. Searches can be done using surnames and available primary source information includes burial records, military records, census records, and recorded family histories. There is also a link that connects to Pennsylvania High School Yearbooks which contains many photos and alumni lists dating back to the early 20th century. This could be very useful if searching for a local person of history while conducting primary source research for the project.====
