Our Documents: A National Initiative on American History, Civics, and Service <http://www.ourdocuments.gov>. A cooperative effort between National History Day and the National Archives and Records Administration. Reviewed Sept. 30, 2003.

Cosponsored by National History Day and the National Archives, Our Documents is a Web site that is designed to encourage "all Americans to participate in a series of events and programs to get us thinking, talking and teaching about the rights and responsibilities of citizens in our democracy." Showcased are "100 milestone documents"—from Richard Henry Lee's resolution for independence in 1776 to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Each document is accompanied with a brief introduction, along with links to various instructional resources. In a rather farfetched attempt to give visitors a sense of what historians actually experience when they first encounter primary source material in the archives, these documents appear online in their original form. 1
      Although slickly designed and easy to navigate, Our Documents will be of limited use to students and citizens. . . .
