Links to Primary Source Documents

1. Our Documents.gov
My favorite part of this website is the 100 Milestone Documents. This has all of the great documents in our countrys history. With each document there is a picture of the document that you can navigate to look more closely at it. There are other great parts of this site, but I find this link as the most helpful.

2. National Archives
Of all documents and materials created in the course of business conducted by the United States Federal government, only 1%-3% are so important for legal or historical reasons that they are kept by us forever.
Those valuable records are preserved and are available to you, whether you want to see if they contain clues about your family’s history, need to prove a veteran’s military service, or are researching an historical topic that interests you.(from About the Archives)
On this site there is a place for teachers and for students. To get here, just click on Education.

3. History Central - Primary Source Documents in American History
This site is similar to the other two. There is American History and World History. There is also links to Aviation History, Navy History, Railroad History, American Wars, and Election Central.

4. The American Colonist's Library
These are primary source documents pertaining to early American history.
