Visit the Library of Congress

The Library of Congress website provides some excellent multimedia resources from the turn on the twentieth century including video of Presidents McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Check it out here.

I used several clips in my class last night. See sky scrapers under construction and street vendors being hustled by New York police. See the wreckage of the USS Maine in Havana Harbor. See the ruins of San Francisco after the great earthquake. Lots of fascinating stuff!
