AUDIENCE ↬ mainly teachers, with some content appropriate for students

Now, we can't all go there in person. But we CAN visit their website! And they have a website packed with resources for teachers and students. Here are just a few things you can do/find on their site:
- search their catalogue
- search by historical topic
- listen to recordings - the one currently highlighted is titled "Voice Remembering Slavery: Freed People Tell Their Stories"
- check out their "Digital Collections" to find collections from ballroom dancing, to papers from Alexander Graham Bell, to African American Photographs Assembled for 1900 Paris Exposition, and more!
And if you are a teacher, YES! they have a section devoted to you! You can find materials to use in your classroom (hello primary sources!), professional development FOR teachers, search filters, and so much more.
