Comb the Archives

Internet Archive (www.archive.org)
Where can you download the film Night of the Living Dead, the MP3 of a recent Ryan Adams concert, and an e-book on medieval feudalism? At the Web's largest collection of public domain media, the Internet Archive.

Government Printing Office Access (www.gpoaccess.gov)
In 1860, the legislative branch of the government formed the Government Printing Office to give all citizens access to government publications. The GPO has begun moving its collection online, and a wealth of material already is available.

National Archives (www.archives.gov)
Read the Declaration of Independence, scan U.S. census data, military service records, and much more at the National Archives Web site, where only 3% of the most important historical documents are preserved.
