Primary Source Fun

Some fun things that have come up recently:

1. Library of Congress crowd-sourced letter transcription. Includes Clara Barton's letters, and Abe Lincoln's incoming mail. Help make primary sources more easily searchable on-line.  Also, educational--I've found guys still using the long s in letters from 1861!

2. Sojourner Truth Project. "On Women's Rights", aka "Ain't I a Woman?", in two versions, with discussion.
