Good options for primary source documents are always a plus. Primary sources presented well are even better. Take a look at the National Archives’ Digital Vaults Collection.

“Digital Vaults gives you and your kids a place to find raw materials that are arranged in ways that may make more sense to them. The site is set up a bit like a social network. Data is organized by tags and linked to both the tags as well as other resources. Like a social network, you can make your favorites documents / materials your “friends,” search for new “friends” by using tags and create “mashups” using primary sources.” (History Tech blog)

If you’re looking for support materials for students and teachers, including lessons plans for use with primary source documents, visit the Vault’s Educators and Students page.
