This is the companion site to the History of England podcast blog. It contains a number of original documents that I've found particularly interesting along the way. The best way to navigate your way around this site is to use this summary and index, which is organised chronologically.
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 collection of primary sources with some guide questions for students, organised around distinct periods of US history. Provided by the National Humanities Centre.
From its inception, Baker Library has collected rare and unique materials that focus on the evolution of business and industry. Spanning seven centuries, the collections include manuscripts, rare books, pamphlets, broadsides, photographs, prints, advertising ephemera, and corporate reports. These rich and varied collections support research in a remarkably diverse range of fields.
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.
Great short easily digestable film clips, documents, and challenges that follow the standards fairly closely. Both regular and AP versions of U.S. History - geared toward high school but I use these clips regularly with my 8th grade class. They tend to retain information from the clips much better than information fron their text (TCI).
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?
"The Japanese Historical Map Collection contains about 2,300 early maps of Japan and the World." Cool! Looks like you need to use a special viewer or something.
The Japanese Historical Map Collection contains about 2,300 early maps of Japan and the World. The collection was acquired by the University of California from the Mitsui family in 1949, and is housed on the Berkeley campus in the East Asian Library. Represented in this online collection are over 1100 images of maps and books from this Collection.
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...
