Amazing Collection of Old Newspapers

Have you seen this yet?  The Library of Congress's Chronicling America website is digitalizing newspapers from the past.  The description from the website says: "Search America's historic newspapers pages from 1836-1922 or use the U.S. Newspaper Directory to find information about the American newspapers published between 1690-present.  Chronicling American is sponsored jointly by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Library of Congress.

Locally in Ohio the newest additions include The Dayton Daily Empire (Dayton), Hancock Jefferson (Findlay), Findlay Jeffersonian, Jeffersonian Democrat (Chardon), Stark County Democrat (Canton), Tiffin Tribune (1848), Tiffin Weekly Tribune, and Tiffin Tribune (1868).

I first learned of this site from the Ohio Resource Center- another amazing must see site!

YTTM.TV

Have you been to this site yet?  Love it!  It takes select content from YouTube and adds the year to the content.  Videos selected include commercials, television, video games, current events, sports, movies and music.  These videos are then searchable for year.  Awesome feature for any class that needs to understand what was happening in the world in a certain year.  It is also a lot of fun to look at the popular commercials and movies from the year that you were born.  You can also look at past political campaign commercials.  Love this site!  yttm.tv  Check out the first Apple commercial from 1977 It makes me wonder what technology will be like in another 30 odd years.  I have this resource along with several more on the history page at MrsFullenkamp.com  Enjoy!

One of my Favorite YouTube Stations Ever!

History for Music Teachers is one of my favorite YouTube stations and I'm not even a history buff!  This channel is produced by a group of history teachers in Hawaii, they take a historic event and then put it to the tune of a popular song.  The Black Death to the tune of Holla Back Girl.  Awesome.  Simply awesome!

Fleas on Rats.  Fleas on Rats.  This History for Music Lovers has 53 different videos, although, so far this one is the best.  Hands down, although you may think otherwise!  You can find this and other equally awesome videos on the history page at mrsfullenkamp.com.
