Have you ever visited the Library of Congress Web site?
If not, you oughta'!
Actually, the LOC Web site is gargantuan in size. One could easily be intimidated by the vast amount of information and media that is available there.
It's a good thing that the site is divided up into various projects.
I'd like to tell you about the "American Memory" section of the Library of Congress today. It is a repository of pictures, maps, illustrations, old television commercials, you name it - that all deal with America of the past. A really nice link on the homepage is entitled "Today in History", make sure that you click on it.
I'm wondering if a site like this would be handy for folks who home school their children? Seems to me that it could be used in the curriculum and what's nice about that is - it is absolutely free to use!
