This week we are sharing an excellent resource for US History courses. Digital Public Library of America has collected primary sources from libraries, archives, and museums across the United States and organized them into resource sets sortable by subject and time period.

To view the primary source sets, visit: https://dp.la/primary-source-sets/


Each set contains a topic overview, 10-15 primary sources, links to additional resources, and a teaching guide. Click on a set to open it.

Here is a preview of the Women in the Civil War resource set:

I hope you share DPLA's Primary Source Sets with your students as a great free digital resource.
