How I Use It

I use it to search for specific lesson plans to strengthen various historical units within my social studies courses. It saves time researching. I also use the digital vault section to teach students how to group sources by common topic for students to research.

My Take

The best portions of the website are found in the DOCSTEACH portion where the National Archives houses their educational resources and lesson plans by subject for teachers. The lesson plans are high quality and easy-to-use. The other portion that is highly engaging is the highly acclaimed Digital Vault aspect of the website that enables teachers and students to select primary sources by topic of study in an interactive manner.

Credible research tool that empowers students with high-quality primary sources.
