I found four (items 1,2,4, and 7) of the nine items in the scavenger hunt.
I used google (unless otherwise stated) for the searches.
1.
I first searched on the words “Leon Trotsky audio recording english”. However this brought up too many results that were not specific enough. I then searched on just “Leon Trotsky audio” and the first result was the link below which had a recording of Trotsky speaking in English about Show Trials.

2.
I search on a number of variations of key words "1915", "suffrage" and "poem" along with the exact phrase "When all the women wanted it"
Google then asked if I meant to type "When all the women want it" Eventually I just typed in "When all the women wanted it" with no other key words and quickly found the poem "Evolution" by Alice Duer Miller. Link below:

3.
I found a large number of letters from George Washingto nto Timothy Pickering but was not able to find the specific letter with the two phrases. The more specific I made my search requests (by putting the phrases in quotes) the fewer good hits resulted.
4.
Simply searched on "Willy Lynch speech slave owner" and found multiple sites had the speech:
http://www.msu.edu/~leonr/WillieLynch.htm
http://thetalkingdrum.com/wil.html
http://www.freemaninstitute.com/lynch.htm
5.
Found a number of discussions on the Soviet's decision to place missiles in Cuba, but did not find a specific one that debated the use of troops vs. missiles.
6.
Found numerous references to the article bu didn’t find full electronic version. A JSTORS link for students in the UK and Ireland had the Economic History Review in its database, but I couldn't get access. I then tried GMU's JSTOR but could not find a listing for the Economic History Review.
7.
Quickly found four syllabi using CHNM’s Syllabus Finder.
