    Our new National Curriculum takes a world history approach, which is a new direction for history in my State. This is an interesting argument for big-picture, as opposed to civilisational or thematic, approaches to conceptualising history.

    Has articles and some source material links related to World History. The site (run out of University of Illinois, by the looks) has a strong focus on 'big history.' I hadn't encountered this term before; it seems to mean looking at history not through civilisations but rather periods or regions. If that description is wrong and someone could provide more accuracy on 'big history' that would be cool.

    The journal focuses on the New World History (looking at the world at a global scale across time) as opposed to the one civilization at a time approach. See the World History AP course description for an example of what this means: http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/ap/students/worldhistory/ap-cd-worldhist-0708.pdf David, as an Australian you are at Ground Zero of Big History since its leader is an Australian = David Christian. Christian's _Maps of Time: An Introduction to Big History_ is the one book to read on the subject. This article well covers it: http://www.historycooperative.org/journals/whc/3.1/christian.html Google David Christian, Big History for more

    Again, the journal is not specifically focused on Big History but on the New World History, but it did have one issue on Big History as its forum: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/ More links than you probably want here about Big History: http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/6.3/maunu2.html This month's forum is on Latin America. Other forums range the gamut of world history.

    An excellent site for maps of civilisations of all time periods and regions. Easily usable - great for student research or developing classroom resources. Just save the images and Bob's your uncle!

    Just checked this site out for Medieval History maps. The site is only in Beta phase at the moment and only covers up to the end of Ancient History. i.e. 500AD

    This site compiles sites that have primary sources on European civilisations. Looks comprehensive and useful.

    'an index of scholarly websites that offer online access to digitised primary sources on the history of Europe. The websites listed on EHPS are not only meta-sources but also include invented archives and born digital sources.'

    The Centre for the Study of Ancient Documents, run out of Oxford. Seems to have an eclectic assortment of images of primary sources and translations from many Classical and early Medieval civilisations.

    This is an interesting site which will be engaging for students, I'd imagine. Has funky graphics and colourful movement. It is organised around several themes and then students can choose a civilisation to focus on. They them look through a series of images with accompanying information. Seeings it's by the British Museum it should be good quality information.

    An excellent resource for teaching the history of the Indian Ocean Basin. It has some great flash-based maps where you can click on funky-looking icons and get some detailed historical information. Very Gen-Y friendly and there seemed to be some quality history in there. The whole site too is based on a historiographic approach of understanding (and teaching) history as organised around oceans rather than continents or civilisations or periods. An interesting approach I think, especially for showing historical connections between otherwise distinct peoples.

    Hi Ginger. I am creating a course in the history of art. I have posted your link on the page about mummies. I was quite delighted by your approach. Could you tell me about where you teach them what you teach and if you might be interested in the courses I am developing. Warmly, Katherine Bolman, Ph.D. www.ahaafoundation.org/ The quality of life is genuine not in the build-up of material welfare, but in the enlightened creativity of life, in the harmonisation of life. - --

    I've been looking for someone to be an art history expert! We're a grade 5-8 charter school in Kansas with 1:1 laptops, working with a PBL approach. For my younger/newbie, I find sites for them for the first bit of the year. I'd love to look at these ancient civilizations through their art and literature. You can contact me at GingerTPLC *at* gmail *dot* com. We'd love to have a course that offers more expertise, or better yet, a moment of your time to perhaps Skype in with us sometime.

    I usually don't add secondary sources (I've found books are much more comprehensive - secondary websites seem usually quite simplistic in their treatments) but thought this might be useful for people working with younger classes doing preliminary research or activities on ancient civilisations.
