"People of African and Asian origin have lived in Britain for at least two thousand years. But this aspect of our heritage has been largely forgotten.

"How did the Abolition Acts of 1807 and 1833 affect the slave trade?"

"Battle plans, maps and unit war diaries chronicle the conflict between Europe's great powers. From 1915 read the Cabinet discussions on the progress of the war at the highest level."

"While the Treasury grapples with the financial crisis of the 1930s, the Cabinet and the Foreign Office press for peace as the situation in Europe worsens. Our collections document the rise of the dictators, the international diplomacy that failed and Britain's preparations for war."

Read the PM's signed orders and top level diplomacy with Roosevelt and Stalin alongside reports from all theatres of war and every aspect of the situation on the Home Front - from what was shown in the nation's cinemas to recipes for British kitchens."

Brian Peoples 06 Aug 11 08:19:00 These are really useful - I use The "End" of Reconstruction in class because Prof. Blight lectures effectively on topics such as the 14th and 15th amendment, Frederick Douglass, precedent setting SC decisions such as Slaughterhouse & Cruikshank. Blight uses some humor and is a phenomenal storyteller who effectively links past to present.
