The New Deal Network
http://www.newdeal.feri.org
“NDN seeks to make the most of the interactive, communications and publication capacities of the Internet. Its designers intend to bring many different institutions and individuals into the ongoing construction of the site and to stimulate students and historians throughout the United States to discover and document the human and material legacy of the New Deal”
The New Deal Network offers visitors ample resources on American politics, culture, and economy during the 1930s and 1940s. The material includes photographs, primary documents (letters, newspaper articles, speeches, etc.), and political cartoons. In addition to general information, visitors can also access lesson plans and classroom projects. There are also bibliographic lists and site links for additional information. The information contained on the New Deal Network is very reliable and well referenced. The only drawback to the site is its load time. When accessing extensive documents lists or simply browsing, New Deal Network occasionally requires an extended load time. However, the quality of the resources contained on the site makes the wait worthwhile!
