parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a 21st century-style site for old-school report research, offering a modern twist to the treasure trove of documents stored at the National Archives in Washington D.C. Tween and teen students can search the site for images of historic documents, photos, and more on the site by keywords. They can also play a sophisticated history matching game and create their own online collections of documents, posters or even make their own movie with the images found here.
Educational value:
With 1,200 records on the site -- out of 12 billion at the National Archives -- some of the keywords your student may enter won't come up with many or any hits. But others will strike gold, with dozens of entries on certain subjects, such as the U.S. Constitution. We hope they continue to add more to the site.
Violence:
Historical references to war, slavery, and other violent acts of history.
