Resources from Federal Agencies


Federal Resources for Educational Excellence or FREE is a government site that provides access to incredible information from dozens of federal agencies. There are over 1500 resources organized in four categories: Animations, primary documents, photos and video. The information comes from agencies as diverse as the Peace Corps and the National Security Agency.

One of the things I found at FREE was a link to ARC (Archival Research Catalog), the searchable database of the NARA(the National Archives and Records Administration). There are over 126,000 scanned digital images of important (and not so important) documents from the National Archives. It's a great place to find excellent source material for digital presentations, or just to look around.
