World Digital Library! - Bringing the World Digital Library to your fingertips!

There are so many resources out on the net that it can sometimes be difficult to find good and reputable repositories of information that is reliable and free!

There is a great website - World Digital Library - http://www.wdl.org/en/

Their Mission:
"The World Digital Library (WDL) makes available on the Internet, free of charge and in multilingual format, significant primary materials from countries and cultures around the world."


The thing I love about this website is you can geographically sift through the information. You can also use the slider at the bottom (not shown in this graphic) to change the time frame for the authentic materials so you can narrow down the content to a specific year.

This is definitely a place you will want to check out if you are looking for some primary materials and free resources for your class. The website itself can be displayed in several different languages.

Happy Exploring!
