I was asked to share the information I recieved on where you could find info
about a certain year.

http://dmarie.com/timecap/step1.asp
This is a cool site for finding headlines, birthdays, top songs, tv shows,
toys and books for any year.


Go to the History Channel's web site
(www.historychannel.com, I think).  You can type in an
exact date and get historical info.

Here are some links I use when our students are doing timelines; I suspect
the last one would be particularly helpful because the students could put in
the dates they were interested in.  Good luck.
