Wow, Footnote is an impressive resource which launched last week that allows users to access and annotate millions of historical documents online apparently for the first time. Interested in the Civil War or perhaps the Federal Bureau of Investigation? Just look it up on Footnote and within seconds you can view digitized copies of the original documents including photographs, signed documents, letters, case studies and more.
Footnote has also established a partnership with the National Archives providing access to millions of historical documents for viewing online. Around 4.5 million documents have already been added to the site and apparently millions more to come.
Looks like they offer free and premium services for a small fee.
Very cool site indeed. I’m sure it will be a great resource for historians, teachers, students and history buffs alike.
