Maps of War ::: Visual History of War, Religion, and Government - 15 views

  •  
    Animated maps showing the imperial history of the Middle East and the spread of religions. The graphics are beautiful and provide a simple overview of the broad sweep of history. I've found these useful at the start of a unit/semester/term to provide a general introduction. My students think they need a hard rock track in the background as a soundtrack...

Maps of War ::: Visual History of War, Religion, and Government - 1 views

  •  
    I hope this site helps you place today's current events into a greater historical context. Each map is well-researched and based in fact, and none of the work is meant to be biased or political. No spin or opinion, just fact-based conclusions about the history of war. Maps-of-War is created by a Flash-Designer hobbyist and professional history- buff. Enjoy your visit and feel free to save or share our work for your own use!

Historical Database Map of Washington DC - 4 views

  •  
    This is where the age of hyperdata is going. This map allows users to scroll through the city and zoom in on building. Clicking on a building will give detailed data of the builder, size and history. Civil War buffs can look for Mary Surratt's boarding house or the "F" street mess of southern senators. Or the Watergate hotel - the list goes on and on.

    This is fantastic! Pity they're not free and we can't download them though...
  •  
    We got a student subscription to this for our department (which students can access at home as well with their own login) for Aus$200. Money well spent we think!
  •  
    This looks awesome! I emailed our district head of this kind of stuff so they could check it out! let us know how your students like it!

    Like it. Wish they were free though, but not much is now-a-days.

  •  
    "The Mid-Atlantic region of North America - stretching from New York south to Virginia - was a pivotal area in the early development of the American colonies and the United States. This website looks at this region and its history through maps created up to 1850." Cool.

LookBackMaps - 0 views

    "Lookbackmaps is a network of neighborhood historians, historical photo enthusiasts, historians, book publishers and others who collaborate to map history. Through the online digitization of high-resolution public photo collections and geotagging technology, Lookbackmaps creates collaborative, standardized views into the past. There's something in being human that wonders what was here before us-who occupied this space, how did they live, what did they leave behind? By mapping the millions of historical photos available through public libraries and private collections on the web, we start to piece together the puzzle."

  •  
    Conflicts mapped by timeline using Google Maps!

    Great map, timeline, and data resource related to military history and conflicts. Perhaps a good way to introduce concepts, or potentially also good for a project based around a particular year or decade -- helps reveal similar trends at a given point in time.

    That's cool.

    "This blog is an opportunity to bring the study of history into the 21st century. Out with the old 5 paragraph essay (until the exam) and in with digital speak! Each of us, students and teachers, will have an opportunity to write history. To analyze the "story" in history and question the "his" of the same."

    A collection of rare maps and manuscripts on North American history from the founding of the colonies on the East Coast.

    Over 800 maps going back 500 years. Quality could be dodgy though - to be honest I didn't check. I've got bookmarkitis. Quality of comments is deteriorating. Need sleep.
