Looking for free online history resources to use with students?

The CT State Library has been digitizing historic CT newspapers for the past six years, as part of the National Digital Newspaper Program funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.  These newspapers are made freely available through the Library of Congress' Chronicling America web site: https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/  and through our project web site: https://ctdigitalnewspaperproject.org/ where you will also find a tab for "Resources for Teachers", "Blogs", etc."   On the Chronicling America site, besides being able to search Connecticut and 47 other states’ and territories’ papers,  you will also find a link on the left of the main screen for Recommended Topics that you could use, such as the long list of topics in the Women's History subject category.  Enjoy!
