The History Place
The History Place.
This site offers a collection of annotated timelines, photographic galleries (including a collection of Lewis W. Hine’s child labor photos with Hine’s original captions, work by Ansel Adams and Dorthea Lange, and selected battle photographs from World War II), transcription and audio of presidential speeches, and excerpts from recent books by “established writers and historians.” The site displays a strong interest in American military history, emphasizing the American Revolution, Civil War, World War II, and Vietnam, but includes a few social history features as well as shorter exhibits on Nazi Germany, World War II, and genocide in the 20th century. A section of movie reviews offers critiques of recent movies with historical or political themes. Brief historical descriptions offer some context to these materials. This site is probably most valuable for introductory research.

History Buff’s Home Page
Newspaper Collectors Society of America.
Primarily a collection of 90 essays, each between 1,000–2,000 words in length, on the history of the American press and its coverage of selected notable events in American history. A few of the essays link to original documents—such as the first newspaper report of Nat Turner’s capture in 1831; 17 essays by junior high school students living in Oklahoma City about the 1995 bombing there; eight 1888 articles on Jack the Ripper from London newspapers; and five Thomas Nast cartoons. The site also includes inaugural addresses from all American presidents through William Clinton; 12 audio clips of news-related recordings and radio broadcasts; and a film clip showing a panoramic view of President McKinley’s home in Canton, Ohio, the day of his funeral in 1901. The essays cover such popular categories as the Civil War, baseball, journalism hoaxes, crime, and the Old West, as well as more esoteric topics associated with the history of newspapers, such as the founding of the Associated Press and the history of the linotype machine. In addition to historical resources, this site—now part of the Discovery Channel webpage—offers crossword puzzles, a guide to collecting historic newspapers, an online forum for newspaper and ephemera collectors, and links to hundreds of history-related sites. Useful as an introduction to American print culture history.

This site features 73 documents, presented with brief introductory essays, chosen to illustrate “the essential idea of American democracy, that of many peoples seeking to find common ground.” The term “document” is interpreted broadly. Traditional documents such as court decisions and legislation are supplemented by letters, essays, and speeches. The selections are arranged by topics, each with a brief introduction, such as Creating a Government, The Crisis of Union, On the Road from Slavery to Freedom, and Cold War Issues. Editor Melvin I. Urofsky is Professor of Constitutional History at Virginia Commonwealth University.
