This resource was developed to help teachers and students use the vast
online collections of the Library of Congress. The links to the right
will lead you to sets of selected primary sources on a variety
of topics in United States History. The sets are arranged by chronological
period.
The primary source excerpts were chosen because they deal with important
and interesting topics in U.S. history. Each excerpt is linked to the
complete primary source in American Memory from which is has been drawn.
The excerpts are thus also intended to help students and teachers delve
more deeply into the primary sources provided online by the Library
of Congress.
