Libraries
Note: Your own local public library is your best resource for local materials! Some local libraries have local history sections with primary source documents, photograph collections, old newspaper collections, etc. They can also advise you on the subscription databases to which you and your students have access. The libraries listed below have digital collections that are national or international in scope.
