'Funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, and combining King's College London's Department of History and Centre for Computing in the Humanities with The National Archives and Canterbury Christ Church University, The Henry III Fine Rolls Project is a unique and pioneering enterprise which democratises the rolls by making them freely available in English translation with a sophisticated electronic search engine, the first medieval source to be treated in this way.'

Com 6 anos de idade, Ruby tornou-se voluntária, pelos seus pais, para participar de um procedimento de integração em uma escola de "All-Whites". O acontecimento foi proporcionado pela NAACP - Associação Nacional para o Progresso de Pessoas de Cor -, tornando Ruby a primeira aluna afro-americana em um escola no sul, chamada "William Frantz Elementary School", de Nova Orleans. Sem dúvida, em palavras o acontecimento tem seus méritos. Contudo, o que pensar se observamos a famosa foto ao lado? Antes de Ruby chegar ao colégio pela primeira vez, os pais entraram nas salas e retiraram seus filhos do local. Os professores também se recusaram a dar aula, com exceção de uma, chamada Barbara Henry. A menina de 6 anos teve "aulas particulares" na escola durante aproximadamente 1 ano com essa professora.

"The New Laws of the Indies, 1542 The Laws and ordinances newly made by His Majesty for the government of the Indies and good treatment and preservation of the Indians created a set of pro-Indian laws - so pro-Indian that they some had to be revoked in Mexico and in Peru due to settler opposition. where the viceroy was killed when he attempted to enforce them. The conflict was between "feudalists" who favored the encomienda system because it maintained society as in the Old World, and the more centralizing "regalists" who wanted to preserve royal power in Spain;s new Empire. Eventually the encomienda was allowed to continue. Charles by the divine clemency Emperor ever august, King of Germany. . . .

Most of it seems to be in Latin. Probably should have realised that before I starting adding it as a bookmark. Oh well. Too late now.

Foi só o ex-guerrilheiro da ALN, Carlos Eugênio Paz, contar em depoimento na novela Amor e Revolução que tinha assassinado o empresário Henry Boilesen (presidente da Ultragás que financiava a tortura no Brasil) que a extrema-direita, representada pelos blogueiros da VEJA, ficou em polvorosa. E para destruir a reputação da Esquerda Armada lembrou de um episódio polêmico ocorrido em março de 1971: o justiçamento de Márcio Leite de Toledo. O fato é verdadeiro, ele foi morto por Carlos Eugênio depois que num tribunal revolucionário os militantes da ALN decidiram executá-lo por suspeita de traição. Como esse blogue foi criado para limpar o esgoto que os militares de pijama e os neo-reaças espalham pela internet, vou postar abaixo opiniões diferentes sobre o assassinato e um vídeo com a entrevista do irmão de Márcio Toledo. Que nossos leitores tirem suas próprias conclusões.

Quando vi o depoimento de Carlos Eugênio Paz na novela Amor e Revolução do SBT fiquei impressionado com a sua sinceridade. Ele contou com detalhes como "justiçou" Henry Boilesen: empresário dinamarquês que financiava a tortura no Brasil. (Para saber mais sobre isso veja o documentário Cidadão Boilesen). Fui saber mais sobre ele e descobri seu livro Viagem à luta armada. O livro é uma grande contribuição histórica, pois Carlos Eugênio é um dos poucos que conheceu várias organizações da esquerda armada; participou de inúmeras ações e ficou vivo para contar a história. Como Franklin Martins diz no prefácio: recomenda-se afivelar os cintos.

Compromises over Slavery

Has activities designed to teach younger students about selected historical periods/topics. Focus on British history.

My regular World History kids will LOVE THIS!!! especially for Henry VIII and Trench Warfare! Thanks for sharing!

Henri loves his tree-ring dating and that's why he set up this site with all things dendrochronological. Would be useful if you're doing archaeology with your students (it's customary in Queensland for year 11 students to do a unit on that).

This is a project that I am involved with. If you are doing similar things with technology please reach out to me. I am looking to build a PLN of like minded educators. 735am.wordpress.com

Hi Keith - I work in the social studies department at Morristown High School and am good friends with one of your colleagues, Ryan Herbst. I'd like to get involved in any way possible... I read the article and visited the website for Electronic New Jersey and have years of experience using primary sources and technology in my everyday teaching. You can contact me at lindsay.henry@morristownhighschool.org. Thank you

Hi, Lindsay, I am so sorry this took so long to get to you, I've been up to my ears in work and other stuff. I just couldn't steal the five minutes to write to you. Sad, I know. :) Ryan was my protege and he's such a great guy! He's talked about you and Morristown H.S. and what a great place it is. I went to Randolph and all of my relatives on my Mom's side graduated from Morristown H.S. starting back in the 1930s! Lots of history there, and I love Morristown! When I get permission to do pilot testing I will ask if we can send you the link and let you try stuff out there and give us feedback. Also, if you ever want to come to Central and see what we're up to just ask!
