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.
A large collection of images of medieval manuscripts however you can't zoom to a close focus and there aren't translations, except for a brief description of what each page on the manuscript contains.
Has several unrelated sections containing primary sources and images, including historical images of Philadelphia, images of medieval manuscripts (no translations though) and some images of art. Might grow over time.
An excellent collection for research into the medieval period. Contains extensive descriptions of the manuscripts along with detailed accompanying information and is easily searchable. An enormous and diverse collection. Gotta love those Benedictines in Minnesota.
This collection of Middle English texts was assembled from works contributed by University of Michigan faculty and from texts provided by the Oxford Text Archive, as well as works created specifically for the Corpus by the HTI.
Scanned images of manuscripts from seven collections held by libraries at Oxford University. Extensive and without translations. Most of them are in medieval Latin.
Excellent images of the manuscripts to a high level of detail, however no translations available. When will these people realise that everyone's Medieval Latin is a little rusty these days?
Got sick of looking at this site in my tabs. I'll go back and add them individually. One day.
There are nearly 2000 sites there related to medieval history. Guess someone had no life...
Has a massive and easily searchable bank of primary documents on British history. Quite amazing some of the stuff in there, especially primary documents on that Empire (capital 'E') that the sun was never going to set on... Forgive my impertinent colonial humour. I've got Irish blood.
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.
