The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History

This site's primary feature is what it calls "History by Era." Based on the system used by the Library of Congress, each of the 10 eras is divided into sub-eras and include an introduction to that era, essays, timelines, primary resources, videos, images and lesson plans. The Institute added an eleventh "era," which it calls themes. This allows the user to track a specific topic, such as migration or literature, across time through the eras. You'll want to check out this site.
