An organization dedicated to the study of American history has created an extensive collection of resources for teachers.
The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, founded in 1994 to promote historical knowledge, posts lesson modules on more than 20 major topics in American history. Each includes a background essay, primary source documents, visual aids (i.e., maps), and learning tools.
