About This Lesson
Through the National Archives web site, you and your students have access to millions of electronic records that provide insight into the World War II era. On the surface, the Access to Archival Databases (AAD) resource seems a bit intimidating, as it provides online access to electronic records that are highly structured, such as in databases. But two of the archival series available through AAD in particular provide a wealth of information about WWII that students and teachers will find fascinating.
