• "Provides access to historical documents and texts to students, and teaching aids to K12 teachers. Digital History has many interesting features, such as music clips, images, and interactive timelines, but the strongest collections on the site are the primary documents and the teaching resources. Secondary students have limited access to primary sources, and the breadth and presentation of the documents on Digital History will benefit students of varying ages. The materials for teachers include lesson plans, handouts, resource guides, learning modules, and an active learning section."–Review, C&RL News, May, 2005
