Does anyone on here know a good place for finding original source documents? I have to create a DBQ that is due on Monday, and when I say create a DBQ, I don't just mean write the essay. I have to find 10 documents(all from the time period that I write about), explain the significance of each, find 40 definitions related to the prompt, and, write the essay.

My topic is to explain/analyze America's emergence as a world power between 1890 and 1914.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, my main struggle at this point is finding documents. At least 7/10 should be mentioned in the essay, so they need to be relevant.

 

I found you these:

On top of th epage just scroll through the documents arranged by date.

National Museum of American History

The National Archives
http://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/

Good luck man!

 

Thanks dude.

I've actually been to the National Archives already, it's just kind of hard to navigate, for me anyway. And another student found a website with a bunch of documents on it. I just knew there were a lot of college age people here so I figured ya'll would have good ideas.
