[|History.net]
==== This website has tons of links to different articles, most dedicated to different wars. I thought the one called "Under the Knife in New Guinea" was really interesting. The article has pictures from Life magazine of Dr. Irving a surgeon with the US Army Medical Corps who served during WWII. Also included in the article are passages from a diary he kept along with letters he wrote home to his family. There is also a section of the website called "Photo of the day", which shows a different photo from history every day. I think this would be a neat class starter for a history class. ==== [|New Deal] ==== The New Deal Network is a research and teaching resource created by the Roosevelt Institute. It includes a document Library which has numerous primary source documents. If you click on the advertisements link there is a long list of old General Electric advertisments. My favorite is "My! How Handy!" which goes on to talk about how lucky women are today with their electric lights, electric refrigerator and even an electric cleaner so she doesn't have to take the rugs outside every spring. We sure have come a long way! :) ====
