New Primary Source Website

At the national NHD competition last summer the Library of Congress announced the establishment of a new site for primary source research.  At the link below you will find thousands upon thousands of digitized newspapers from 1836-1922.  If your subject fits just type in the correct era and a keyword and Boom! you have some primary sources! (It may take a little bit of investigation and wordplay to find exactly what you are looking for.)

Click HERE for the Chronicling America site!

Here is an American magazine that has put its entire collection on the Internet. American Heritage allows you to search its archives and find article specifically about your subject.  Give it a whirl!

RESOURCE LINK

Check out this resource page from the Society of American Archivists! Many links to use for both primary and secondary research.  On the next snowy day get lost on this page with you subject.  It is going to snow soon right?

According to NHD Weebly does not have a word count feature.  They recommend copying your text into word and using its word count feature.  Sorry Tommy.....

Theme Line

Below is a screen cast of the theme line we discussed in class.  Keep this in mind as you prepare your story.

Goals for the Week

As always you should continue to go through your research and keep searching for more source material.  That being said you should now begin story boarding your project.  How do you want to tell the revolutionary, reactionary or reforming story?  Start dividing your work into chapters or subtopics and start visualizing how your project will look.  If you have not already done so sketch out or outline how your project will look.  I will be around to speak with everyone this week!
