The purpose of Densho is (1) to preserve the personal testimonies of Japanese Americans who were incarcerated in U.S. internment camps during World War II, (2) to help people understand a particular episode in U.S. history, and (3) to use historical materials to explore principles of democracy, citizenship, tolerance, and justice. The website includes a collection of primary sources, readings, a timeline, a glossary of terms, and a bibliography. The primary sources include images, documents, and personal firsthand accounts in audio and video form as well as in text. The website is organized into five sections: causes of incarceration, learning center, archive, other resources, and about Densho. The Learning Center includes four units, each of which includes historical information and primary sources. Three of the units also include lesson plans and teacher resources.

This digital collection presents primary sources from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries and the Wisconsin Historical Society that provide a window onto Milwaukee’s civil rights history. During the 1960s, community members waged protests, boycotts, and legislative battles against segregation and discriminatory practices in schools, housing, and social clubs. The efforts of these activists and their opponents are vividly documented in the primary sources found here, including photographs, unedited news film footage, text documents, and oral history interviews. This website also includes educational materials, including a bibliography and timeline, to enhance understanding of the primary sources. The March on Milwaukee Civil Rights History Project seeks to make Milwaukee’s place in the national struggle for racial equality more accessible, engaging, and interactive. Project staff selected the primary sources included in this collection for their completeness, legibility, and historical importance. To the best of our knowledge, we included only materials for which we hold copyright, for which we have secured the permission of other copyright holders, or that we have identified as copyright orphaned works. The materials reproduced in this digital collection are only a selection of the primary sources documenting Milwaukee's civil rights history held by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries and the Wisconsin Historical Society. Researchers should not assume a one-to-one correspondence between digital folders and their counterparts in physical collections.

EASE History is a rich learning environment that supports the learning of US history. Over 600 videos and photographs are currently available in EASE History. EASE History has three entry points: Historical Events, Campaign Ads, and Core Values. Learn about US History through the prism of US presidential campaign ads, better understand the complexities of campaign issues and their historical context by looking at historical events, and explore the meanings of core values by examining how these values have been applied in both historical events and campaign ads. Three learning modes, single and multiple theme searches, and resources support the comparing and contrasting of historical cases. EASE History's goal is to support experience acceleration- to help learners think more like historians.
