HIST 813 Primary Sources 12 November 2005

I found a couple of really great web-sites that are a holding for some valuable primary sources. The first site is at http://www.usda.gov/oc/photo/histfeat.htm This is a site by the USDA and has a large collection of photographs taken by the Farm Security Administration in the 1930s.

I got really excited when I found the second site. It is http://www.archive.org/. This site has a huge database full of cultural artifacts from moving images, music, text and audio. For moving images, they have movies that have been released from copywrite that you can download. I found the "Duck and Cover" video I have been looking for here. I have a lot left to explore on this site.
