The Article Compilations feature 113 articles, most of which have appeared in Social Education, the journal of the National Council for the Social Studies. Each article supports a document from the National Archives, providing a historical context and related teaching activities. The documents reflect U.S. history and policies from the formation of the union to Watergate and each booklet includes a wealth of visual materials, including posters, maps, photographs, charts, drawings, and official government correspondence. Classroom teachers will want to use the interactive CD-ROM in each booklet, which includes digital images of the original documents for engaging class presentations.
