Fighters on the Farm Front: Oregon's Emergency Farm Labor Service, 1943-1947: http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/osu/osuhomepage.html An Online Exhibit done by people at the Oregon State University and Archives, so not quite Kansas, but definitely close enough to provide context to what was happening on Kansas farms.
Women at War: Redstone's WWII Female "Production Soldiers" http://www.redstone.army.mil/history/women/welcome.html#WAW. A serious but readable paper (originally written as a conference paper by a US government historian) about the women workers at the Huntsville, Alabama chemical munitions plant. Illustrated by a nice assortment of photographs; a nice secondary source for student research or a source of some good inclass digital photos.
Women Come
to the Front: Journalists, Photographers and Broadcasters During World
War II: http://lcweb.loc.gov/exhibits/wcf/wcf0001.html An Library of
Congress digital exhibit. Spotlights eight women photographers, with nice
profiles and then links to various original documents concerning each.
At least a start to student research on any one of them. Also has brief
essays setting general context, and much longer list of accredited women
correspondents during WWII.
WASP- WWII: http://www.wasp-wwii.org/

Airforce Service Pilots in WWII. Some useful photos, documents and hotlinks,
and a beginning collection of lesson plans,etc.
Auschwitz Alphabet: http://www.spectacle.org/695/ausch.html Clearly the work of one author with a very personal sense of the meaning of the Holocause, but a very effective presentation, with sources clearly explained, containing a very limited number of illustrations, lots of effective exerpts, and also a list of some other links.
Baseball, the Color Line, and Jackie Robinson: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/jrhtml/jrabout.html Library of Congress American Memory online exhibit, which includes two sections on 1940s (Breaking the Color Line: 1940-1946 & Robinson as a Dodger 1947-1956), with some illustrating photographs and other images, excerpts from interviews, etc.
