"American memory is an ongoing resource of digital images, audio and media clips embracing all aspects of American history and culture. This extensive collection provides access to ... million[s of] digital reproductions of primary sources from over 100 important historical collections from the Library of Congress and other participating museums and institutions. In addition to the digital resources, the site includes The Learning Page, a teacher's guide to assist in instructional support and learning, and Today in History which gives a brief historical account of an important event in American history occurring on that day. This excellent, frequently updated site is highly recommended for librarians, researchers, teachers, and students seeking to incorporate digital images into their presentations and class assignments."--Reviewed March 1, 2003.
