Ted-Ed Video - The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Images and translations of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The scrolls and scroll fragments recovered in the Qumran environs represent a voluminous body of Jewish documents, a veritable "library", dating from the third century B.C.E. to 68 C.E. Unquestionably, the "library," which is the greatest manuscript find of the twentieth century, demonstrates the rich literary activity of Second Temple Period Jewry and sheds insight into centuries pivotal to both Judaism and Christianity.

Many databases from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Includes Trademark Electronic Search System with 3 million+ pending, registered, and dead federal trademarks; electronic Official Trademark Gazette, available for the most recent 5 weeks; electronic Official Patent Gazette, available for the most recent 52 weeks; online Manual of Patent Classification; Patent Full-text and Full Page Image Database: page images, 1790- (searchable only by classification or patent number); full-text, 1976- (fully searchable).

A great site; giving a very large number of database links which do not necessarily show up on a standard google or yahoo search (because they're databases). It also indicates which databases are pay-to-view/subscription. Some of the links, however, seem to be dead - and each database will need to be searched independently once you are there, obviously.

There is a plethora of links here to valuable online source sites as well as a few dead links. Also covers topics outside of history.

A comprehensive list of links to documents on all periods of history, mainly focussed on the West. Seeings this links to all sorts of sites there will probably be a few dead links but it purports to link to documents and is maintained out of a university so should be useful for research and study.

Great find, but many of the promised (and linked) pdf files are dead links. Seems like the project was never finished?
