History Happens Here!
Upstate New Yorkers have shaped the history of
America. Over the centuries, national events have had an impact
on our local communities. Whether you are teaching about the American
Revolution or the Industrial Revolution or social revolutions, the
historical records of Upstate New York contain vivid local stories
that can bring your classroom alive.
The Upstate New York American History Education
Alliance wants to make it easier for American History teachers to
find online documents, photographs, exhibits and classroom materials
that relate to the history of the Champlain, Hudson and Mohawk Valleys.
Our database rates online resources for age-appropriateness
and indexes them according to the New York State Social Studies
Curriculum. You can limit your search to certain upstate counties
or to certain types of materials, or you can find everything that
is related to a curriculum topic.

NOTE: This resource database is still under
construction. If you know of additional websites that you would
recommend to American History teachers, please send us the URL links.
We will only post the sites that adhere to established standards
of historical accuracy and balanced interpretation. We welcome your
additions and comments. We also welcome new classroom materials
that can be posted online for all to use.
