HistoryLink.org is used as an education resource from elementary school through college. It is also used by museum and historical society professionals when developing exhibits, education projects, and curriculum materials. Here is what teachers, librarians, and other heritage educators are saying about HistoryLink.org

“Thanks for the wealth of resources posted online. Many of my students picked their History Day topics as a result of some of the time we spent in class touring the website. It's a tremendous resource!” — Luke Thomas, Mt. Spokane High School

“I love the organization of sections for Educators and for Students with headings and explanations to guide the user. You provide a treasure trove of Washington state resources for educational purposes. Thank you very much!” — Nancy Kuta, NBCT Teacher-Librarian, Juanita high School

“This easily accessible resource that provides curriculum resources and links to organizations that offer educational resources that meet current Washington state standards is an extremely valuable tool for classroom teachers.” — Selina Danko, Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center

“HistoryLink provides the opportunity to explore Washington history in a format conducive to today’s technological innovations and advances. In this way, Washington history is accessible to a wider audience. Teachers will find the Education Resource a great source of education materials. ” — Danelle Fedes, Puget Sound Navy Museum

I don't know how we ever taught Washington State History before HistoryLink.org! Our textbooks are old and outdated, but our 8th grade students are able to do excellent research on projects from state geography to Famous Washingtonians thanks to you. Several of our teachers ask students to write about the positive contributions they might make to our state that would result in a profile on HistoryLink.org. You are appreciated! — Chris Gustafson (Whitman Middle School, Seattle School District, National Board Certified Library Teacher)

HistoryLink.org is an extremely valuable free resource for our teachers. Your site is one of the best (and only) sites that provides detailed information on Washington State history. The articles are always very timely and the photographs are extremely useful for projects about our state. Thank you for making this available free of charge to schools and libraries. The information contained is the best source for our students and I have not found information this accurate and detailed anywhere else. Please accept our profound gratitude with hope that you will be able to continue to provide this extraordinary resource for our students and teachers. — Christine Kolstoe (Lynnwood Elementary, Librarian)

I love HistoryLink.org. I have used it since its inception, at first and primarily as an in-depth resource for information and background to build my own curriculum. The past three years, however, I have also sent my Pacific NW History students to HistoryLink for information for their projects. I’m so thankful for this incredible resource and it’s really fun to watch it build and grow. I’m amazed at how much has been added and refined in the past few years. — Susan P. (Bellevue School District)

When I finally found HistoryLink.org, I was astounded at the ready-made curriculum possibilities on a daily basis, and was (almost) overwhelmed by the amount of information. — Rod G. (Seattle School District)

When I’m looking online for a unit or lecture for my 12th grade Humanities class, I start with Google and HistoryLink.org. I suggest my students do the same. I used to provide warnings to my students about Google – but never about HistoryLink.org . — Shawn M. (Franklin High School, Seattle School District)

It is a dedicated history resource. I suggest students begin a search there rather than Google/Wiki. It is a trusted source.— Jeffrey W. (Seattle School District)

HistoryLink.org has provided valuable info when I have been in a time crunch and limited by time restraints. HistoryLink.org has been great. — Carol D. (Ellensburg School District)
