Energy History Online is an educational website serving teachers and students of United States and global energy history.
Leading energy historians have curated teaching modules on the site appropriate for classroom use. These modules can be used as the basis for seminar and lecture courses in energy history, and to deliver energy history content for general history classes.
Teaching materials include textual documents, photographs, video, and other media. Primary source items also are available in a library of teaching items that is sortable by fuel type, energy sector, date, document type, and keywords. The library includes additional documentary materials, beyond the individual teaching modules, and will grow over time.
