American Cultural History


1900 - 1909

The purpose of this web & library guide is to help the user gain a broad understanding and appreciation for the culture and history of the 1900-1909 period in American history. In a very small way, this is a bibliographic essay. Though it is impossible to take you through the entire decade, we have attempted to find notable areas of interest and to select information that is still dear today, for example books we love - movies we watch - songs we sing - events we find interesting - people we admire. We want students to understand the world they live in today is connected to the happenings of the past.


To see the whole picture, we encourage users to browse all the way through this page and the other decades of the 20th century and then visit the suggested links for more information on the decade. As you can see, the best way to immerse oneself in a topic is to use both Internet and the library.  Some information is best viewed or read in books. This is where the real depth of information can be found. Then there is information that will be found only on the Internet. If you can add a valuable site or information to this page, we invite you to write.
