This multimedia-rich site was developed by a team from the University of Houston to support the teaching of American history in K to 12 schools and colleges. In addition to a collection of primary source documents and a timeline of U.S. history, the site helps to bring America's past to life with a number of multimedia features. These include E-lectures (RealPlayer plug-in required) on such diverse topics as slavery and domestic violence; trailers of historically significant theatrical films; a Macromedia Flash movie that transports visitors into America's past; and audio files of historical songs.
