Selected documents, photographs, movies, and sound recordings relating to
various aspects of American history and culture can be found at this
handsomely designed site. Most are primary source and archival materials
from the Library of Congress's special collections. Only a minute fraction
of the library's vast holdings can be accessed as of 1997, although there
are ambitious expansion plans. Unfortunately, it's a busy and often slow
site. The site is searchable and includes resources for educators. At
present, the site features documents and images on African Americans,
architecture photos, Civil War photos, the conservation movement
(1850-1920), the Constitutional Convention, Daguerreotypes, the Federal
Writers' Project, early motion pictures, vaudeville, and women's suffrage.
