"I was very impressed while delving more into DocsTeach and mixing and matching a bit with other sources of primary documents. I've become more interested in the social dynamics around and during the Civil War as we've been exloring the NARA.

"Hi, everybody,
Sorry I have been AWOL for a bit--we've had deadlines here.
OK, like others on this site, I got lost in the fabulous collections and exhibits for this lesson. It is real gift to have these collected and labeled topical areas all…"

"Carol's lesson plan seems like a useful approach to me because it takes students both deductively and inductively through a logical process to get at items within a target range. It is inclusive (all sorts of record groups will show up via a search…"
""Macy" and "Civil War" under Digital Copies yielded up this record of an ancestor or near-ancestor who, as it turns out, looks very much like my grandfather. Fun! This is from the Archives at College Park, Maryland. The photo is of Gen. George N.…"
"This work with ARC is helping me be more comfortable digging around in the Archives, and recognizing the broad logic to it. It is becoming more intuitive to think like an archivist (e.g. creatively and laterally as well as heirarchically). I…"
"Folks, the digital images that I posted yesterday aren't coming through on the discussion board for me. If the same problem for you, I'm sorry! I don't know how to make them "appear." Maybe a tech request to John Trampush? :)"
"OK, I can't resist this one:

"Wow--
The YouTube site has a video of how the Emancipation Proclamation is preserved and is allowed "out" only rarely. The archivists show how the document is treated; and how an earlier, preliminary version of it still exists and still has the…"

"On my gosh! A fraktur from the Digital Vaults--critters related to samplers, and commonly used to prove pension rights from the Revolutionary War. In fact, I'm finding quite a few frakturs and samplers with this common purpose.…"
"Here is a digital image of Robert E. Lee's letter demanding the surrender of John Brown and his party at Harper's Ferry (10/18/1859). Look at the elegant, flowing hand. I found this through OPA, with a link that then directed me to the ARC. The…"

"From the learning styles inventory I learned that I have attributes in most of them--all of the metrics were over 50%. Strongest were visual-spatial, interpersonal, and linguistic. Actually, I think I'm strongest as a verbal-linguistic learner, in…"
