Maps of the early Middle Ages

The king (or queen!) of primary source sites on the middle ages. These sourcebooks are the best sites I've found for primary documents.

As teachers, we are always searching for ways to make our classrooms "come alive." Google Earth has done this for us. Inspired by Kelly Tenkely's recent flight adventures using Google Earth, I decided to begin looking for ways to incorporate the idea of a virtual flight into our learning adventures. To give a little background, we are studying the Middle Ages this school year and are currently focusing on the Diaspora of the Jews after the destruction of the Temple by the Romans around 70 AD.

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.

How amazing is this find! Three times the size of Sutton Hoo. And found by an unemployed bloke with a metal detector. Isn't it about time we stopped using the Gibbonesque term 'Dark Ages'?

Feel free to disagree! (Sorry for the continuing bonhomie, I'm still on holidays).

Created by Rachel Duffy and Marc Ducharme. Focuses on the Gilded Age in the United States, but could be adapted to work with any historical era.

Fantastic resource for research into the Middle Ages in Europe. A multitude of links to primary source sites.

"Paul Salopek's 21,000-mile odyssey is a decade-long experiment in slow journalism. Moving at the beat of his footsteps, Paul is walking the pathways of the first humans who migrated out of Africa in the Stone Age and made the Earth ours. Along the way he is covering the major stories of our time-from climate change to technological innovation, from mass migration to cultural survival-by giving voice to the people who inhabit them every day."
