History - United States History I & II (David Raley): Web Sites

Find a list of American history topics and resources on the U.S. Constitution, Liberty Bell, flag, and more.

Wonderful online resource for history teachers and students. Among the many digital resources are lesson plans, syllabi, links, and exhibits

This impressive site from Steven Mintz at the University of Houston includes an up-to-date U.S. history textbook; annotated primary sources on United States, Mexican American, and Native American history, and slavery; and succinct essays on the history of ethnicity and immigration, film, private life, and science and technology.

A great source for information on a myriad of historical events and personalities. PBS's assorted and diverse web exhibits supplement their television series and generally include a summary of each episode, interviews (often with sound bites), a timeline, primary sources, a glossary, photos, maps, and links to relevant sites.

The Smithsonian Learning Lab is a free, interactive platform that gives you access to millions of Smithsonian digital resources and provides tools so you can upload, adapt, create, and share content with friends, parents, and your teachers. Find images and videos for projects, use the Lab’s tools for homework research, or explore your own interests in history, art, science, or culture.

Visit "Telling Their Stories" and read, watch, and listen to perhaps the best student-created oral history project in the country. High School students at the Urban School of San Francisco have produced three impressive oral history interviews featured at this site: Holocaust Survivors and Refugees, World War II Camp Liberators, and Japanese-American Internees.

Includes information on historic sites and people.
