A thorough collection of sources organised around continents, eras and topics.

This is a series of thorough study guides that cover a wide variety of historical times and places with accompanying images and primary sources. They're designed to assist high school students with their research. Should be good.

An excellent collection of public domain ebooks run out of the University of Adelaide, focussing on literature, philosophy, science and the queen of all subjects, History. She deserves a capital.

Contains a few useful links and is often updated so will just get better and better! (Please forgive my cheerfulness - holidays just started).

An enormous collection of links covering a wide array of regions and all time periods. It has primary texts, maps, diagrams, statistics, all types of historical sources. Well-organised and searchable.

A very large collection of primary source texts on religion from all regions and time periods. He's got everything in there - even Sky Lore. Sounds trippy.

This is where using the net gets tricky for students. We tell them never to use wikis (for good reason) and then something like this comes along. It's awesome. A fast-growing wiki (a site that anyone can add to) of historical sources. Shows why we need something like Diigo to filter the internet and provide guidance for the students regarding what to use in their research. Run by the same people as Wikipedia (Wikimedia). If you're ever looking for historical images can I suggest Wikimedia Commons.

Pretty self-explanatory, really.

Massive number of history sites.

I'm being lazy by saving such a large number of collections at once, however there's no other way for me to get through all of the sites I have sitting in my browser. I'll probably come back later and save them individually.

"Digital technology can make the works of man permanently accessible to the billions of people all over the world. Andrew Carnegie and other great philanthropists in past centuries have recognized the great potential of public libraries to improve the quality of life and provide opportunity to the citizenry. A universal digital library, widely available through free access on the Internet, will improve the global society in ways beyond measurement. The Internet can house a Universal Library that is free to the people."

Couldn't agree more. They reckon their collection will grow to over 10 million texts. An electronic Alexandria. It's the ability to sort the wheat from the chaff that makes Diigo such a powerful tool. Especially now it looks so sexy!

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.

This is quite unusual. You select which text you wish to read and then submit your email address. They then email you a link where you can download the text. I tried one and only received a small amount of text, however the other ones might be more substantial.

Organised around time periods and themes and maintained by Jack Lynch at Rutgers University.

Large collection of links to pages with historical information, sources, etc. 

The NHEC has some excellent resources for history teachers. 

Images, sound files, newsreels and other videos, and more on history, science and more.

A list of links to websites useful for student research provided by my old alma mater.

Parallel Archive (PA), an "invented" archive repository accessible for everybody wishing to upload primary sources, is developed by the Open Society Archives (OSA) at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. PA is, "at once a personal scholarly workspace, a collaborative research environment, and a digital repository".

Has primary sources uploaded by people who have registered with the site in many European languages, including English. Come to think of it, is English a European language anymore? Interesting...
