History Buff: Primary source newspapers, historic panoramas, audio. What it is: I’ll admit it, when it comes to websites, I’m a judge-a-book-by-it’s-cover kind of gal.

If the website isn’t user-friendly and visually appealing it is an almost guaranteed skip for me. History Buff is one of those forgettable websites. It isn’t overly visually appealing, it isn’t even really obvious how to get started. I nearly skipped it. History Buff has something going for it though: thousands of primary source newspaper made available digitally. Students can search through newspapers from the 1700 all the way until 2004 and see the scanned version of it digitally. I have to admit, it is pretty cool to be able to “hold” history in your hands that way. How to integrate History Buff into the classroom: History Buff is a website that can help history come to life through story, virtual tours, audio and primary source news papers.
