Websites and Accounts About the US

This page brings together websites and accounts about the United States. OldNYC is a map of New York covered in dots, each one opening historical photos of that exact spot from the New York Public Library's collection. On TikTok, the Folger Shakespeare Library shows off its folios, censored pages and grumpy 17th-century annotators, plus what the plays mean today.

History on Holiday follows Sarah, a historian and museum professional, through the museums and historic sites of Washington, D.C. and beyond, telling you what's worth seeing. And for something practical, Pawdget is a sourced calculator for what a dog or cat costs to keep in the US, by breed and state, per year and over a lifetime.

Every find is picked by an editor, checked live and comes with a short review. The page grows as new finds about the US appear, since Country of the day keeps returning to every country and American sites show up in other rubrics too.
