Website of the Week


Be prepared to spend a fair amount of time exploring the documents, photographs, drawings, maps, and other materials that make this an online experience that is unlike any other. Each record in the Digital Vaults is also linked to the National Archives' Archival Research Catalog (ARC), so visitors who want to know more can take the first steps toward a research journey into the National Archives. The site has a special interactive resources section for educators and students. Teachers can get great ideas on lesson plans using reproducible primary sources. Students can create digital content with primary resources. Students can search photographs, documents, and other records and collect them. Students can use collected items to create their own digital poster or to make a movie. http://www.digitalvaults.org/#/create/
