Three lessons on Korea after the Korean war. Each develops a historical thinking skill

"Revisiting Korea: Exposing Myths of the Forgotten War, Part 1 By James I. Matray"

There's not much here really, just a few images of archaeological sites and artefacts from Korea but given that's not a place you see much about I've included them. When I lived there I visited the significant sites but usually they were uninspiring and accompanied by a sign that read something like: 'This is [insert Korean place name] which was destroyed by the evil marauding Japanese in [insert year]'. No love lost there, I think...

Great resource for discussion about a contemporary single party state- Also good for OPVL source discussion

The primary focus of the collectors was botanical, yet there are many images of people, landscapes and towns and cities of the period.

A collection of Asian artefacts and documents (I think) provided by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. I guess that's Berlin Museum or something.

A vast and unorganised collection of secondary and primary source sites on all things Mongol. Amazing that there are so many sources left seeings the Mongols tended to burn any sources they came across. Along with the people who might have written them, come to think of it. Maybe that's why their PR is so bad?

This seems to have some high-quality images of artefacts. Not sure if there are documentary sources, though.

Another one of the excellent history sourcebooks. Contains an extensive collection of Asian sources.
