ADDITIONAL CLIPART ETC RESOURCE

ClipArt ETC, ClipArt images for Classroom Use, provides students and teachers with 71,500 pieces of quality educational clipart from the Florida Center for Instructional Technology.  

"All images are appropriate for classroom use. You'll find no advertisements, pop-ups, or inappropriate links here. A friendly ETC license allows teachers and students to use up to 50 free clipart items in a single, non-commercial school project without further permission." (https://etc.usf.edu/clipart/)

Some collections cover American History and Government,  Ancient History, Flags, Art, Science, Literature, Math, School, Sports, and Transportation. 

These images are generally ink drawings that include historical information. An example is the "Statue of Liberty" in New York. You can download the image in different sizes as GIF or TIFF files.
