DPLA: Digital Public Library of America

摘要

Doing history is fun because of the quirky stories, pictures and personal objects, such as the record of the deaths and births in the family Bible found here in the DPLA: Digital Public Library of America. Until recently, scholars with the resources to travel were able to view the family keepsakes, the postcards, and the oral histories that make storytelling so compelling. Now anyone can find these resources from home. The Digital Public Library of America brings together millions of books, photographs, serials, maps, obituaries and oral histories from 1,100 partners. It has never been easier to write lively history.
