A site with primary sources that also guides students in source analysis/evaluation. It's run by George Mason University (they do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to open-access digital history. Good on 'em!).

Parallel Archive (PA), an "invented" archive repository accessible for everybody wishing to upload primary sources, is developed by the Open Society Archives (OSA) at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. PA is, "at once a personal scholarly workspace, a collaborative research environment, and a digital repository".

Has primary sources uploaded by people who have registered with the site in many European languages, including English. Come to think of it, is English a European language anymore? Interesting...

SS Curriculum Guides - 22 views

Deven Black on 02 Dec 11

These are a set of out-of-print guides made by the NYC Board of Education in 1993-1994. They are full of primary sources, short text selections and activities which many teachers have found very useful. Although designed for 7th and 8th grade they can be modified for high school and elementary school. Many teachers have used these over the last 17 years to help them develop their lessons. They are large files so they will take a few minutes to open. Note that both sets follow the same format but the 8th grade guides were done with a modern text style and therefore "looks" much better.

e du centre historique de la presqu'île disparu quasi intégralement, avec des commentaires audio et/ou des illustrations agrémentant la visite selon le lieu où le visiteur se trouve. La restitution permettra donc de servir de fil conducteur pour présenter des documents d'archive pouvant intéresser le public, gravures, peintures, plans ou autres. Elle permettra également de présenter des articles concernant tel ou tel bâtiment ou secteur de la ville.L'objectif adopté pour la restitution des immeubles disparus est de retrouver à minima le nombre d'étages, d'arcs de boutique et l'emplacement de la porte principale, mais cela n'est pas toujours possible. De vieilles gravures ou même certaines photographies du milieu du 19ème siècle permettent parfois de retrouver l'organisation des fenêtres. La couleur des façades est nécessairement imprécise. Les bâtiments publics ou religieux sont reconstitués à partir de plans et de gravures.Lyon en 1700 est une association régie par la Loi de 1901 et composée de passionnés d'histoire.Tout Lyonnais amateur de recherches en archives ou sur le terrain est bienvenu pour donner un coup de main !

"The History Data Service collects, preserves, and promotes the use of digital resources, which result from or support historical research, learning and teaching." This says that it's open access, but on closer inspection you need an Athens login (only available if you're attached to an institution which pays for it). Would be great if you could get in, though, I'd imagine.
