Making History on the Web: Creating Online Materials for Teaching U.S. History
![Cartoon, Of McKinley, From Puck Cartoon, Of McKinley, From Puck](/sites/default/files/website_image/MakiWebImage.jpg)
Designed around a sample American history survey course, this site offers 10 teaching units, each comprised of eight to 12 documents (texts and images), and introductory essays by various scholars. Additionally, some units provide manuscript sources from the University of Virginia's (UVA) archival collections.
The units, covering American history from the Revolution to the First World War, are uneven, and the teaching suggestions are sparse. Still, the materials here are useful as a general introduction. The site, which includes links to teaching and history resources, is a product of a 1996 summer seminar held at UVA.
