Topic: Resources For A Great Classroom Day!

Thehistorybox.com is devoted primarily to New York City and New York State history, though it also contains an extensive exploration of American history in general.

Its main features are the New York State and New York City Directories that offer more than 1900 transcribed articles of historical interest and thousands of web links, organized under topics such as Arts, Biographical Sketches, Architecture, Business Matters, Immigration, Education, Women and Historical Tid-Bits . Though its reach is large, thehistorybox.com focuses a particularly long lens on the early history of political and economic events, panics, riots and other related matters affecting or contributing to New York City's development and growth. Extensive research of public records, newspapers, books and web links comprise the site's primary and secondary sources. The website is continually updated with new articles and web links, which can be found in the What's New section.
