The Library of Congress has just launched a new collection, The Library of Congress Celebrates the Songs of America, which explores American history through the lens of song.
As the celebration of Washington's birthday draws near, primary sources from the Library of Congress can support explorations of the role of the French in United States victory, along with reactions to their assistance by government and military leaders, by the American people--and by Washington himself.
With the launch of the Library's newest primary source set, Understanding the Cosmos: Changing Models of the Solar System and the Universe, teachers and students can explore these models and the astronomers who created them.
