[CASL-L] primary source documents

[McGarry, Kristie (Platt)]

Hi,

Lots of primaries sources here, and this is considered the best available collection of slave narratives published up to 1920.

Documenting the American South, First Person Narratives of the American South, 1860-1920<http://docsouth.unc.edu/neh/>



>From the University of North Carolina's Documenting the South, it includes all the existing autobiographical narratives of fugitive and former slaves up to 1920 - broadsides, pamphlets, or books, and also includes many of the biographies of fugitive and former slaves, along with some fictionalized slave narratives.

Hello to the collective wisdom of CASL,

A teacher/student teacher asked me to help research primary documents relevant to Antebellem America.  "Students will seek and cite quotes from slave narratives, pro-slavery, and abolitionist perspectives."

I am directing her to the History Reference database on researchitct.org
We also have some print resources.
I have started to find relevant websites, but I don't want to miss anything.

If anyone has done similar research projects with middle school and is willing to share some online tools, I would be happy to share what I have as well!

Thank you,
Marybeth
