HISTORY MATTERS: The U.S. Survey Course on the Web is a new site that serves as a gateway to the Web for teachers of the U.S. History Survey course. It provides high school and college teachers (and their students) a starting point for exploring American history on the Web, a large number of first-person historical documents for use in the classroom, and a range of teaching resources (sample syllabi, teaching assignments, and forums, for example). A project of the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning of the City University of New York and the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. This forum is sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities. The HISTORY MATTERS Web site was created with support from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. The site is an in-progress prototype that will grow as our resources permit.
