  •  
    Might be useful in helping your students learn to distinguish between primary and secondary sources.

Was the Declaration of Independence Signed on July 4? How Memory Plays Tricks with Hist... - 1 views

  • What are we to think of history? when in less than 40 years, such diversities appear in the memories of living persons, who were witnesses?”[2]

      Primary documents are simply not more trustworthy that secondary sources
  •  
    Teachers can use the information in this article to show students that primary sources can be just as slippery as secondary sources. For those who want to understand what the AMA's Tuning Project means by the "provisional nature of knowledge" - this is it.

Mongolian Culture - 2 views

  •  
    A vast and unorganised collection of secondary and primary source sites on all things Mongol. Amazing that there are so many sources left seeings the Mongols tended to burn any sources they came across. Along with the people who might have written them, come to think of it. Maybe that's why their PR is so bad?

  •  
    Historical information from the NATO archives. Great website, easy to search and locate new sources. Images, documents, videos.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures - 5 views

  •  
    I usually don't add secondary sources (I've found books are much more comprehensive - secondary websites seem usually quite simplistic in their treatments) but thought this might be useful for people working with younger classes doing preliminary research or activities on ancient civilisations.

Slavery in the North - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting resource for the study of African slavery in the northern states of the US. I think they're trying to make a point. It gives secondary source information and also some quotes from primary sources on the topic.

HistoryWorld - 0 views

  •  
    This is largely a secondary sources (which I usually avoid - largely because I figure you've all already got enough of these in the classroom and library so primary sources are more valuable) however the information looked pretty good and it is easy-access for students. That's always a good thing. It has some timelines too.

    Useful in helping students understand what primary and secondary sources are and how to approach them.

Parallel Archive - 13 views

  •  
    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...

Alexander's ancestors - 0 views

  •  
    A rather superficial secondary source giving basic information on Alexander.

The Classics Pages: Antony Kamm's 'The Romans': start page - 0 views

  •  
    Most of the information from this site is secondary, however it has some quotes from ancient authors in context and some beautiful images. The site maintains that the images are copyright and should be used only with permission and of course we'll do that. Of course.

History of Nations - 0 views

  •  
    It's a secondary source and the information is fairly cursory, yet as it is organised around the different nations around the world it might be useful for preliminary or geographic research.

Medieval Castle History, Design of Medieval Castles, Haunted Castles: www.medieval-cast... - 1 views

  •  
    This is a secondary source with information on a wide variety of topics centred around medieval European castles. I usually avoid this type of site (superficial information, oversimplification) but this one has some beautiful images and it's a topic students usually enjoy.

History - Archeology, Anthropology & Paleontology | LiveScience - 0 views

  •  
    A secondary source which might be good for initial student research or for a teacher reading up on something outside their main areas of expertise (which as we all know is not uncommon...).

Digital Egypt for Universities - 1 views

  •  
    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.

American Women's History: A Research Guide - 5 views

    Seems to be more of a guide to primary source research rather than a source site itself.

SS Curriculum Guides - 22 views

  •  
    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.
