For your US History essay, you will need to use and include several primary sources (sources created at the time you are writing about) in your research. Many organizations have collections of digital primary sources that are available freely online. On these pages are links to some of those organizations. We have tried to arrange them according to topic or theme - you may find pages include several topic areas, or perhaps just one. If you find collections in your research that we have not included here, we would love to know about them so that we might include them in the future! Happy researching!
Many of the descriptions of these collections come from the "About" pages of their websites. For more information about any of them, please visit those pages and read further.
