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.
Excellent collection of history sites well-organised under a diverse range of topics. Yet another brilliant open-source history resource provided by the good people at George Mason University. They rock!
"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.

A site with over 200 free documentaries on the topic of history. Sorry for the vague tags on sites like this, but the collection is so eclectic that it's hard to be thorough. Searching for region and time period should yield results when you're looking later.
An excellent site for maps of civilisations of all time periods and regions. Easily usable - great for student research or developing classroom resources. Just save the images and Bob's your uncle!
Just checked this site out for Medieval History maps. The site is only in Beta phase at the moment and only covers up to the end of Ancient History. i.e. 500AD
A site which students can use to... actually I don't get it. If it works though it looks very cool. It's something the kids can use as little mini-historians and then publish the product to the web. It's focussed on US history (well they are the 'hyperpower', aren't they?).
This is an enormous repository of images on flickr all devoted to history. The images are uploads are all done by random people (problem) so the tagging might be even worse than when I bookmark sites to our group. There'll be some gems in with all the trash though - useful for PowerPoints, sources on exams, student assignments, etc?
This site has a collection of "60,000 documents detailing the political and social history of the United States". Seems well organised; run by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
