Digital Collections for the Classroom

Welcome to the Newberry Library’s Digital Collections for the Classroom. Here, you will find classroom-ready, primary-source documents selected from the Newberry’s holdings. Explore topics from Shakespeare to Chicago history on the collections page. Browse all documents or search for documents related to specific subjects on the items page. The collections are also available for download in PDF format.
