American Journeys is a new digital library and on-line learning center that makes available over 17,000 original letters, diaries, rare documents, images and more allowing direct student and teacher access to key pri resources from 1000 to about 1830. Fully searchable, this is a magnificent opportunity to delve into rare first-hand accounts and other resources. The site includes many additional tools, such as how to select and narrow a topic, overcoming problems with primary resources, and how to deal with the historical context of the material. You can put yourself "inside the minds of early explorers or settlers and the Indians who greeted them." www.americanjourneys.org
A list of Michigan Archives and Research Libraries is available to help you link up with Michigan archival repositories that can provide you with primary resources in your community. Don't overlook this resource when developing your Michigan History Day entry. www.maasn.org

Michigan History Day offers a fascinating opportunity to move social science beyond rote learning. Students perform self-directed research on an individually chosen topic. They then present their work through the allied disciplines of art, literature, music, drama, and visual communications, in addition to writing. The projects grow; participants are encouraged to expand and improve their work between each state of competition.
