A well-organised collection of quality resources for German history since 1500.

A varied collection which is not well organised for searching for digital resources, however if you're willing to spend some time looking around you'll find WWI propaganda posters, artworks and other useful historical sources.

Great for primary sources on British history. They also have an active programme to connect with history teachers and have plenty of resources specifically for school history.

Excellent collection of history sites well-organised under a diverse range of topics. Yet another brilliant open-source history resource provided by the good people at George Mason University. They rock!

A teacher of AP World History, Bill Strickland, has kindly allowed people access to this site. The enrolment key is 'monty'. I got this through the AP World History Teachers group on Google Groups.

This lesson is awesome! It aligns to 3 NCSS Standards- #3, 5, 6. Students will watch a clip from the PBS special "Martin Luther: Reluctant Revolutionary," filling in a Viewing Chart (included). Afterward students write an essay. As an extension of the lesson, students interview an adult, asking how their enviornment and social issues of the time influenced their life and decisions.

The Kennan Institute and National Public Radio in the USA has established an online audio archive of Soviet and Russian history. "The archive consists of recordings dating back to the earliest years of the Soviet state. Included are the voices and speeches of key political figures, including Lenin, Kerensky, Kirov, Beria, Stalin, Gorbachev, and others. Among the recorded interviews are Anna Larina (Bukharin's widow); Valentin Berezhkov, Stalin's wartime interpreter; Yelena Bonner, Sakharov's widow; and Lev Pevsner, a survivor of the Leningrad Blockade. There is also on-the-scene recorded sound of many events in Soviet history, including: the Russian and American armies meeting at the Elbe; Stalin's funeral; the August 1991 coup against Gorbachev. [...] The material comes from Soviet and Russian sources, the NPR archives, the archives of the BBC, and individual donors. Some of the material is in Russian, some in English. "

The bulk of the audio files are in Russian, however if you scroll down closely there are speeches by significant Western figures too. Yet another excellent set of resources from the Woodrow Wilson Center.
