*As promised, this roundup includes everything from December 18th forwards. It’s three for the price of one! In an effort to keep this somewhat organized, I’ve separated each roundup by week, going from oldest to most recent.

I’m actually rather surprised to find that no one’s really done this before. This collection started out as a Word document that I used for creating classroom activities for my survey classes. The one-page document has now grown to seventeen pages. Before anyone yells at me for leaving things out, I do want to warn you that this is not a comprehensive list. I have tried to limit this list to resources that are available from verified sources, archives, museums, universities, and historical societies. There are a ton of personal websites by genealogists and military history enthusiasts that are great, but because I can’t verify their sources personally and because this list is aimed mostly at educators, I chose to leave them out.
Each link will be listed by title, then institution. I have included a short description of each link, and which sections will be of particular interest or use to educators.
