Not quite sure why the "California Institute for Ancient Studies' has German on the homepage. Not great quality but if it's Bronze Age I usually bookmark it regardless - there's not much on that era.

These medieval parliamentary records have just been released. They're part of the 'premium content' section but it's only 30 pounds per year to access so might be worth it.

Excellent collection of primary source sets on women's suffrage. Interestingly, it shows the counter-movement against women's suffrage by some women. Fascinating stuff.

I don't usually add blogs however this one has so much quality historical material on real life in the USSR that I thought some people might find it useful. Might help to dispel some of the myths about life in the big bad evil Soviet Empire.

Looks like a useful guide by an experienced history teacher. Might be good for homework or a lesson activity? I'm focussing at the moment on training my students with 'historical thinking.' I find it much more useful a model than the 'critical thinking' models so common these days, and the results are promising. If anyone has any tips I'd be most appreciative...

Based on a proposal by a school principal from Saratoga, NY, U.S. railways created the Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones, plus the Intercolonial time zone in Atlantic Canada. It was agreed upon by the railways in October 1883 that they would adopt Standard Railway Time, on Nov. 18, 1883.

This is more for archaeology than history, but looked so useful I added it. I think it's kind of a database of archaeological sites and news maintained by archaeologists.

An extensive collection of texts and images detailing many aspects of life in the South during the twentieth century. Seems to focus on 'everyday' history rather than the big events. But then again history is about people, isn't it?

A comprehensive list of links to documents on all periods of history, mainly focussed on the West. Seeings this links to all sorts of sites there will probably be a few dead links but it purports to link to documents and is maintained out of a university so should be useful for research and study.
