Excellent digital access to primary documents, screened by professional historians. Especially useful is the annotated guide to websites for U.S. History, including all of the most important and extensive ones that undergraduates and graduate students will need for research (American Memory Project, UNC's Documenting the American South, the FWP American Life Histories, Digital history, NAWSA, Early American Newspapers), as well as some unusual ones (African-American Sheet Music, Black Loyalists, City Sites: New York and Chicago, 1870-1930, and Red Hot Jazz Archive) that my students in Revolutionary America and City Cultures and Politics will find very useful. The primary sources and website annotations are clear and accessible. I currently use a print version of U.S. History Matters in my U.S. History for Teachers course, which I will immediately replace with this free educational resource. I also plan to use it in my 150-person survey of early American History and in my upper-division specialty courses.

This is a great source for learning how to use primary sources and why they are important. The fact that it is keyword searchable and advanced searchable by category makes it even more useful.

Excellent resource that provides easy access to primary documents. Also, the search function makes finding quality websites pertaining to a particular topic quick and easy.
