Library of Congress is an online version of the real thing: the world's largest library and all of its resources. You won't have any issue finding good resources in all formats, including text, audio, and video (although you can't log in and save any of it). The ever-evolving homepage features a carousel of collection highlights (some timely) as well as links to the library catalog, digital collections, trending topics, and more. The Teachers tab unlocks the real treasure, though from Primary Source Sets to classroom materials to professional development links to family engagement resources. It's one of those free sites that'll have something for any teacher who touches on history and culture.
