I found this site today – Awesome Stories. Currently they are waiving their $9.99 sign up fee for individuals and students. From their website:

AwesomeStories is a gathering place of primary-source information. Its purpose – since the site was first launched in 1999 – is to help educators and individuals find original sources, located at national archives, libraries, universities, and government
web sites.Your Site membership provides:

  • Original stories created specifically for educational purposes and targeted
    research
  • Key references and primary sources directly linked in story context
  • An end to wasted time reviewing meaningless search-engine results for
    targeted topics
  • Newsletters which include ideas for teachers and research topics for students
  • A great resource to learn what you would’ve learned in school had you paid
    attention
  • New ways to see magnificent art, ancient artifacts, original documents and
    annotated maps
  • A great way to use the Internet for educational purposes and not just for email, news, stock reports and on-line purchases
  • A great alternative to watching television

Enjoy :)
