The Humphrey Winterton Collection of East African Photographs: 1860-1960 - 0 views

  •  
    A collection of over 8000 photos from East Africa from 1860-1960. Probably useful for classroom resources (you know, stick 'em on a worksheet, that type of thing), assessment pieces or in student research. I found with my year 12s that they needed some guidance on how to extract historical information from images ('thinking historically') but after that they used images like these well in their research for their assignments.

    A collection of rare maps and manuscripts on North American history from the founding of the colonies on the East Coast.

    Over 800 maps going back 500 years. Quality could be dodgy though - to be honest I didn't check. I've got bookmarkitis. Quality of comments is deteriorating. Need sleep.

American Memory from the Library of Congress - List All Collections - 0 views

  •  
    This is an enormous, diverse collection of images and audio files based around US history. It's a very eclectic collection so tagging was difficult. If you're doing anything on American culture this would probably be helpful.

Rome: Republic to Empire - 3 views

    Usually I avoid adding secondary sources (a good school library can fulfil that function) but the information here looks pretty good and covers topics students usually find interesting.
