LOC and National Archives

In the same vein as the previous post.... another great govt. website, The Library of Congress.  A few years ago I took a trip to D.C. and got a tour of the Library of Congress and the National Archives.  It was a fascinating tour of the history of the buildings and agencies, but the best part for me was the educational outreach  areas.  The library has a program that emphasizes using primary resources in education.  This and the National Archives are the depository of most of our nation's important history-making documents, most of which are available in digital format.  For example, you have access to the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, letters, and pictures that can make a lesson come alive for your students. These two sites are worth taking a look at.
