The Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression
Chapter 28:

The 1920s Experience - This private site contains information concerning a variety of topics in the 1920s.  Students can investigate important people, major events, the arts, inventions, and fads and fashions.

The American Experience from PBS has two excellent sites that support their programming concerning the Great Depression. Riding the Rails takes a look at teenagers who traveled the country on railroads looking for work, and Surviving the Dustbowl covers the hardships of Midwesterners during the dust storms of the 1930s. Each site contains a transcript of the film, special features, maps, a timeline, and a teacher's guide.

For more visual information concerning the Depression era, the Library of Congress has an excellent picture collection from the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information. The Franklin D. Roosevelt Library & Museum also has a fine archive of photos concerning the Depression and the New Deal.

The New Deal Network - You just can't beat this site for information on FDR's New Deal. Created by the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt Institute, the site contains images, articles, primary resources, and links to almost anything a student needs concerning the New Deal. The site also has a nice collection of classroom resources, including lesson plans and student work.
