Highly recommend anything from activehistory.co.uk. Russell Tarr is fantastic and his games really capture the interest of those "I hate history" students.
The Project supports the full and prompt release of historical materials by governments on all sides of the Cold War, and seeks to accelerate the process of integrating new sources, materials and perspectives from the former "Communist bloc" with the historiography of the Cold War which has been written over the past few decades largely by Western scholars reliant on Western archival sources. It also seeks to transcend barriers of language, geography, and regional specialization to create new links among scholars interested in Cold War history.
awesome stories
Learning about history through excellent stories that icnlude primary documents, images, video, and audio to enhance learning. excellent resource.
Two prominent historians, Norman Davies and Timothy Snyder, were hosted at the Batory Foundation in Warsaw on Thursday, 28 November. The discussion was moderated by Aleksander Smolar, director of the Foundation's board. The full house included prominent historians, directors of institutions and programmes in Warsaw, Toruń and Radom, researchers including Jan Kieniewicz, the University of Warsaw historian and author of books on Europe and Asia, and members of the press.
Excellent collection of websites which have been reviewed by subject specialists for use in research. A bit like what we do! LOL (as my students say...).
Herbert Aptheker (July 31, 1915 – March 17, 2003) was an American Marxist historian and political activist. He authored over 50 volumes, mostly in the fields of African American history and general U.S. history, most notably, American Negro Slave Revolts (1943), a classic in the field, and the 7-volume Documentary History of the Negro People. He was a prominent figure in U.S. scholarly discourse since the 1930s.
Two weeks ago I heard a conference by Peter Seixas (the Canadian who is behind these benchmarks) and it was absolutely inspiring... if ever you have the opportunity, go and see and hear him talking about history teaching!
History is always our most useful tool and guide. Knowing our past helps us to
divine our future; to see the long strands which denote our character and which
have been common in each epoch of our development; and how they may be adapted
in our transformation as an integral part of this region, while re-energising
our national life.
Thanks Kristine for finding this site. I've seen it pop up in other groups and blogs since so it was an excellent find. I'm just adding the main page so we can find a wide range of topics from it later.
