An amazing tool to delve into the past in a more digitally relevant way

How I Use It

There is a specific project I love to do when we get to the Roaring 20s/Great Depression. I call it a 1920s Document Book, and my students are to pick at least 8 primary sources from the 1920s and early 1930s and analyze these two major events through comparing and contrasting what they can see, hear, and experience from the past. I always recommend the Digital Library when they're searching for primary sources because they get a great range of images, songs, speeches, etc. that they can use for this project.
