Since I will be teaching Mass Communication this summer I found a few resources while researching the 67th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor Attacks that I thought I would document.
The first site is a collection of newspaper articles on Pearl Harbor:
http://www.thepearlharborarchive.com/MediaRequest.aspx
From that site a series of other interesting collections and free archives are linked including:
NewspaperARCHIVE.com
KennedyAssassinationArchive.com
September11Archive.com
TitanicArchive.com
FBIArchive.com
ImmigrationArchive.com
TornadoArchive.com,
EarthquakeArchive.com
Argument, Persuasion, or Propaganda Chart:

AWESOME ASSIGNMENT FROM RESOURCE LINK "Read Write Think" (readwritethink.org)that has students analyze a WWII poster. First students pick a poster from a great set of collections. Each poster has background information and a student comment dialogue box which pulls up for notetaking. Next the student is asked to analyze their choosen poster by answering questions revolving around "purpose, author and audience". The third step involves analyzing it further by looking at questions about the poster's "evidence, support, and outcome". Finally in the fourth step the student is asked to discuss overall impressions of the poster and then to categorize the poster as one of argument, persuasion or propaganda (justifying their answer of course). Upon completion the student can click on"finish" and a dialogue box will appear that asks if the student would like to print or save their assignment. The site even comes with a designed rubrik to help instructor's assess the students' permance on the assignment. How cool is that? http://interactives.mped.org/view_interactive.aspx?id=571&title=
A picture of Roosevelt's Reading Copy of his "Day of Infimy" Speech and correlating cool assignments can be found at this address: http://www.archives.gov/education/lessons/day-of-infamy/activities.html
