I have written about using Archives.gov to find teaching materials and I have used the National Archives materials for lessons that I’ve conducted with my students, but until today I never thought to subscribe to the daily document RSS feed from the National Archives. Today, Jeffery Hill posted the tip to subscribe to daily document feed from the National Archives. I subscribed to RSS feed immediately after reading Jeffery’s blog. By the way, if you’re not subscribed to Jeffery Hill’s English Blog, you should definitely check it out, he posts a lot of great resources every day.

Applications for Education
Every day the RSS feed from the National Archives serves up a new primary document corresponding to that day in history. Along with the document teachers will find suggested classroom resources and suggested research links.

On a related note, the National Archives has videos and images that US History teachers will find useful.
