Bill Thayer's Gazetteer of Italy - 2 views

  •  
    Has some choice images of ancient and medieval Italy which would be useful for assessment design, classroom resources or research. I found some of the information accompanying the images a little superficial, however.

Prosopography of the Byzantine World: Welcome to PBW - 0 views

  •  
    I'm not sure how useful people will find this, however some might use it so I've included it. It contains translations of coins and seals from the Byzantine Empire organised around historical personalities and topics.
  •  
    This edition completes the inclusion of published archival material from the monasteries of Mt Athos, and that relating to Nea Mone (Chios). It adds basic treatment of Byzantine Italy till the capture of Bari (1071). There has been considerable tidying throughout, but especially at the beginning and end, a process which will continue in the next edition (2007.1). The main emphasis of that edition will be on seals.

  •  
    Why We Fight #1: Prelude to War (1943) 52:21 - 4 years ago The first part of a series of films produced by the United States War Department during World War II. The series explained the reasons for the U.S war effort up to that time. This first part covers the rise of Fascism in Italy, Nazism in Germany, and Militarism in Japan and juxtaposes their political and social systems with that of the U.S. It also portrays the first examples of Japanese aggression in Manchuria and China, as well as the example of Italian aggression in Ethiopia. Supervised and Directed by Frank Capra. Be mindful of the ethnic stereotypes in this film.

SS Curriculum Guides - 22 views

  •  
    These are a set of out-of-print guides made by the NYC Board of Education in 1993-1994. They are full of primary sources, short text selections and activities which many teachers have found very useful. Although designed for 7th and 8th grade they can be modified for high school and elementary school. Many teachers have used these over the last 17 years to help them develop their lessons. They are large files so they will take a few minutes to open. Note that both sets follow the same format but the 8th grade guides were done with a modern text style and therefore "looks" much better.

    A glossy and well-resourced site with information on the main conflicts of the twentieth century. Takes a British perspective (unsurprisingly).

Ascoli Satriano, Puglia in the eighteenth to twentieth centuries - 0 views

  •  
    This is a little unusual. It's a site which uses the town of Puglia as a case study for kinship relations and marriage. Anyway, weirdness aside it has primary sources and that's what we're about.
