A varied collection which is not well organised for searching for digital resources, however if you're willing to spend some time looking around you'll find WWI propaganda posters, artworks and other useful historical sources.

A comprehensive list of links to documents on all periods of history, mainly focussed on the West. Seeings this links to all sorts of sites there will probably be a few dead links but it purports to link to documents and is maintained out of a university so should be useful for research and study.

"This websource provides access to a growing collection of digitized historical documents, images and materials, along with past and current analysis on the history of the University of California." Just what we like!

An excellent 'hub' (that's a buzzword for you) for primary sources from all eras and regions.

Great for primary sources on British history. They also have an active programme to connect with history teachers and have plenty of resources specifically for school history.

This is the blog which accompanies the podcast Stuff You Missed in History Class. Like just about all History podcasts, it's easily found through iTunes. My students have found the format on SYMIHC as user-friendly and valuable for their research. Worth a listen.

This lesson is awesome! It aligns to 3 NCSS Standards- #3, 5, 6. Students will watch a clip from the PBS special "Martin Luther: Reluctant Revolutionary," filling in a Viewing Chart (included). Afterward students write an essay. As an extension of the lesson, students interview an adult, asking how their enviornment and social issues of the time influenced their life and decisions.

One-Page handout for For Use in History Classes

I keep updating the Modern Western Civilization Economic History site. Suggestions welcome. Does anyone use it for student projects?

Could be useful for classroom or homework activities.

An excellent set of digital source collections run by Columbia Uni. I've been meaning to save all these collections individually but it's such a massive task that I'm just saving the root pages of the collections. If you have a look through these you'll find some gems. And if you save them to the group you will have my undying affection (just please use the same tagging standards - it keeps the information findable).

Materials that might be useful for geography and foreign language instruction as much as historical research.
