RESOURCE: Picturing US History: An Interactive Resource For Teaching With Visual Evidence

[Frank W. Baker]

Picturing United States History: An Interactive Resource for Teachi... is a digital project based on the belief that visual materials are vital to understanding the American past. This website provides online "Lessons in Looking," a guide to Web resources, forums, essays, reviews, and classroom activities to help teachers incorporate visual evidence into their classrooms. The Picturing U.S. History site will also serve as a clearing house for teachers interested in incorporating visual documents into their U.S. history, American studies, American literature, or other humanities courses.

In the My Favorite Image section, educators from across the country discuss archival images that they have found useful in teaching major themes in U.S. history.
