Great education resource for history

Joanne Jacobs reports:

"TimesMachine can take you back to any issue from Volume 1, Number 1 of The New-York Daily Times, on September 18, 1851, through The New York Times of December 30, 1922. Choose a date in history and flip electronically through the pages, displayed with their original look and feel."

Just amazing! The font for the full page is pretty small. You can open up each article in a separate window.

This is a great resource. When children are study American History they can see how the news was being reported when the event happened. Children might also enjoy seeing what happened on their birthday a hundred years ago.
