Footnote.com is a new website which allows access to millions of public documents from the US National Archives — as well as documents uploaded by users.  More to the point it allows users to annotate documents with notes, translations and so on.  This seems like an excellent service for finding interesting class projects.  I can easily students annotating historical documents and clarifying difficult handwriting for their own learning while simultaneously contributing to a larger community resource.

Admitedly, there is a registration fee, but it’s not huge and I’d say well worth it for schools and university libraries.
