For the Record: A Documentary History of America tells the stories of American history through in-depth primary sources, both textual and visual, that give students more opportunities to explore diverse voices from the past.

The new edition incorporates feedback from a range of instructors to ensure wide appeal and strong classroom performance as well as a new focus on the diverse experiences of women in American history.
