We learn from our mistakes, and that's why it's important to understand history. At least, that's what most history teachers tell unenthusiastic students.
While this may be true, history is fascinating in its own right. And today's site proves that.
At Footnote, you can browse through historical documents. You can also add annotations or comments to the documents.
You can search for a name, date or event. Or, browse through documents by time period. You'll find a lot of free content. However, certain premium content requires a membership.
One of my favorite features of the site is Footnote Pages. These contain information on a specific person or thing.
You'll see vital information about the person. There's also a timeline. So, you can see how a person fits into history.
Genealogists won't want to miss this site. It may mention your ancestors! After all, there are census reports and military registers.
Notice: We give Web sites a "heads-up" before mentioning them in our Cool Sites of the Day. Still, my newsletters generate so much traffic that Web sites sometimes become unavailable. If you are unable to access today's Cool Site now, please try later. It is a working site.
