"WikiArc is intended as an online toolkit for professionals, students and other people interested in the fields of archaeology, classical antiquity, palaeoanthropology, forensic anthropology, cultural heritage studies, and Quaternary sciences."

Has a searchable database of open-access journals to do with archaeology, anthropology and ancient history.

"The Great Britain Historical Database is a large database of British nineteenth and twentieth-century statistics. A significant amount of work has gone into integrating the referencing of spatial units, and where practical assembling data for different dates into single tables." You can use it for free, with some limitations on the amount of information you can retrieve. Very valuable though as in my experience it's hard to get a hold of historical statistics.

If you scroll down or click 'History' you'll see the History lecture podcasts offered by MIT. Personally, I use iTunes to subscribe to university lecture podcasts. My students find them invaluable for their research.

Has a funky graphic interface connected to different types of resources to do with digital history. From what I can tell this is a bit of a buzzword (term?): 'digital history'. It seems if you're doing anything educational online put 'digital' in front of it and you're in the 21st century. Simple, really...

Has access to online history scholarship, although by the looks of it some of the materials there can only be accessed after you've paid membership.

Comprehensive feeds of the lectures put online by Oxford University. Useful for senior students for homework activities or research.

Another of the excellent sourcebooks run by those Jesuits at Fordham Uni. This is the best online primary source research for the ancient world I've found.

Great place to start your search for digitized collections/archives. These collections are housed at historical and academic institutions of all kinds, and contain primary sources that can include original historical documents, images, audio, artifacts, etc.

Although this is an online secondary source site (which in my experience are usually superficial and dodgy) the information seems to be quite thorough and good-quality. That's probably because it's run by University College London. Many interesting and informative themes are picked up. Definitely good for student research or classwork/homework.
