I would (and do) use Library of Congress materials. Primary documents:

If you're teaching American History:

I a cool tool called xtimeline once for a history course. Xtimeline is a free web-based tool that can create and share timelines with pictures and videos. It worked pretty well. http://xtimeline.com/
