One of the great things about the Internet is its ability to transmit primary source documents right into our classrooms! Archives and museums are constantly digitizing photos, diaries, notes, manuscripts, and more. The sites below are just the tip of the iceberg but will give you a start as you begin to search for appropriate materials.

U.S. History Image Sources
Below you will find a list of the primary sources used for the U.S. History Images available on this site. I have, to the best of my ability, used the original captions and descriptions found in these books to label the pictures. It might also be useful to note that the books and periodicals shown below are not listed in strict alphabetical order. Since I am always adding books as I go along, it is much easier to give books with identical author or title names a number to distinguish them, rather than to go back and rename the source captions under each picture.This wall painting found in the Roman city of Pompeii is an example of a primary source about people in Pompeii in Roman times. Primary sources are original materials . [ 1 ] Information for which the writer has no personal knowledge is not primary, although it may be used by historians in the absence of a primary source. In the study of history as an academic discipline, a primary source (also called original source or evidence ) is an artifact, a document, a recording, or other source of information that was created at the time under study. It serves as an original source of information about the topic.

DBQ Resource Guide
This list is intended for use by teachers and students alike. While teachers will find a variety of methods and lesson plans used to teach DBQ writing, students will find advice, tutorials and sample questions that may prove helpful. The goal is to have teachers use this set of resources not only to teach students how to approach the DBQ, but also to create DBQs of their own! My hope is that, by designing very simple DBQs themselves, they will better understand what is required to respond to one. A special thanks goes to Anthony Melendez, our Pace intern, for kindly checking and updating all the links on this page! I hope this is useful!

Pre-Colonial To 1600The international financial crisis of 2008-09 led to the first downturn in global output since 1946 and presented the world with a major new challenge: determining what mix of fiscal and monetary policies to follow to restore growth and jobs, while keeping inflation and debt under control. Financial stabilization and stimulus programs that started in 2009-11, combined with lower tax revenues in 2009-10, required most countries to run large budget deficits. Treasuries issued new public debt - totaling $7.6 trillion since 2008 - to pay for the additional expenditures. To keep interest rates low, most central banks monetized that debt, injecting large sums of money into their economies - between December 2008 and December 2012 the global money supply increased by more than 35%. Governments now are faced with the difficult task of spurring current growth and employment without saddling their economies with so much debt that they sacrifice long-term growth and financial stability.
