Formerly known as the North Carolina History & Fiction Digital Library, the new Eastern North Carolina Digital Library contains 399 fiction and non-fiction volumes, 150+ museum artifacts, maps and educational material pertaining to the history of the 41 counties in Eastern North Carolina.

This project brings together local history materials, historical fiction related to these localities, and museum artifacts that highlight Eastern North Carolina’s rich past.

The successful recipient of the first three-year Heritage Partners grant awarded by NC ECHO, Joyner and its partners are making available over 20,000 additional pages of historic texts related to eastern North Carolina, zoomable maps, zoomable images and video footage of museum artifacts, and related alignments and lesson plans for North Carolina educators. Focus groups with area educators were held to help us refine the site to better meet the needs of teachers and students.

The History Place offers narratives and pictures of major events impacting the history of the United States.  The major topics include the American Revolution and U.S. Constitution, the Civil War, Natives of North America, child labor, Apollo 11, World War II, the Vietnam War, and Presidents of the U.S.

Go on an adventure with John Smith as he helps establish the Jamestown colony, explores the Chesapeake Bay, and meets local Indians.  This interactive game includes brief video narrations.

For alternative activities, check out these videos for kids from the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.

The Jamestown Settlement website also has videos for students, along with an image gallery and lesson plans for teachers.

How to Load The Trail of Captain John Smith

This is a flash-based game that is no longer hosted on National Geographic Kids.  You can still access it though through the archived version on the Wayback Machine.  Because it is flash-based, you will need to have a flash emulator on your browser, such as Ruffle, to make it work.

1. Download and install a Flash emulator designed for your browser.  Ruffle is a popular one.  It has versions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
2. Go to the Wayback Machine version of the game.
3. If it does not work try to reload the page.

We have tested it on Chrome, Edge and Safari browser with the Ruffle emulator and it works on all of them.

From site:  Shmoop wants to make you a better lover (of literature, history, poetry and writing). See many sides to the argument. Find your writing groove. Understand how lit and history are relevant today. We want to show your brain a good time.

Shmoop content is written primarily by Ph.D. and Masters students from top universities, like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard, and Yale. Many of our writers have taught at the high school and college levels. We hold ourselves to the highest academic standards. We source our work (see the “Citations” tab in each history section, or in-line citation links throughout our literature and poetry content). Teachers and students should feel confident to cite Shmoop as a source in essays and papers.

The Georgia Historical Society believes an important way we fulfill our mission to collect, examine, and teach Georgia history is by providing quality resources and lesson plans for educators. While Georgia Historical Society creates Georgia Studies resources for educators teaching students of all ages, GHS has several resources that are well suited for eighth grade Georgia Studies.
