The quality of this site reflects both the authors’ expertise in history and social science education. Guidelines for sifting primary source evidence are provided. Examples of student publications on the Web will give you great ideas. Leading American historians link past and current events and analyze maps and music and much more. A not-to-be-missed site!!
