Primary Sources

Primary Sources are documents, pictures, artifacts, etc. that are created at the time of a significant historical event.  
Access these resources off campus with your STUDENT USERNAME (everything that comes before the @s207.org in your school email) and PASSWORD (the same password as your Chromebook).  
If you have any questions, need help, or can't access the databases, please contact Ms. Cochran.
