    You'll need a bit of medieval Latin for this site, but once that minor hurdle is overcome this is a godsend. It's chockers with scanned images of medieval manuscripts, most of them in Latin.

    A vast collection of source sites and resources on the Classical world, including Greek and Latin texts. They're even working on a translation of Harry Potter into Greek - maybe they can send JK Rowling some correct Latin terms instead of the mangled gibberish she puts in the books...

    You'll need to be able to read German and Classical Latin, but once those minor hurdles are overcome this is a rich collection of primary sources on early German history. I only had a brief peek but it seems to focus on ancient & medieval Germany. I guess they're written in Latin as it was the lingua franca of Europe at the time. They're organised into books with chapters and indices so it's unlikely they were written in Roman times (or at least it seems so to me).

    Actually, the MGH is a collection of sources mainly for medieval Germany (of course including areas that are not German today), initially started with the intent to create a complete edited version of sources for the middle ages. They are in fact organised by type, like legal documents, letters, chronicles, etc., whereas chronicles are also organised by author. It's an invaluable reference for everyone doing work in medieval history. By the way, the link you saved doesn't work, I'd instead use this one: http://www.mgh.de/dmgh/

    Another site with scanned images of manuscripts, most of them I think in Latin or medieval French or Italian or Old English. OK, I didn't check. They look cool, though.

    The Post-Reformation Digital Library is a collection of resources put together by a group of researchers and relating to the development of theology during the Post-Reformation/early modern era (ca. 16th-18th c.), hosted by the Hekman Library in Grand Rapids, Michigan (USA) at the H. Henry Meeter Center for Calvin Studies of Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary.

    Most of it seems to be in Latin. Probably should have realised that before I starting adding it as a bookmark. Oh well. Too late now.

    An excellent collection of English translations of Greek and Latin texts. You'll also find some great biographical information on the authors that students can use to improve their source evaluations (if you teach in a system which requires that - it's massive here in Queensland).

    Article describing the Edict of Milan. Includes this important note on sourcing: "[The Edict's] terms are known to us only from a rescript issued six months later by Licinius. (This rescript was sent from his capital in Nicomedia-now Izmit in Turkey, just east of the Bosporus-to the governor of the nearby province of Bithynia. The Christian writer Lactantius has preserved its original Latin, while the church historian Eusebius gives it in Greek. ) "

  • In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.
  • plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities
  • to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • "The whole point of a democracy is to have leaders responding to the public will, and here this is the complete reverse, the military trying to trick the American people into a war that they want but that nobody else wants."
  • neither the American public, nor the Cuban public, wanted to see U.S. troops deployed to drive out Castro. Reflecting this, the U.S. plan called for establishing prolonged military — not democratic — control over the island nation after the invasion.
  • a time when there was distrust in the military leadership about their civilian leadership, with leaders in the Kennedy administration viewed as too liberal, insufficiently experienced and soft on communism. At the same time, however, there real were concerns in American society about their military overstepping its bounds
  • reports U.S. military leaders had encouraged their subordinates to vote conservative during the election
  • One idea was to create a war between Cuba and another Latin American country so that the United States could intervene. Another was to pay someone in the Castro government to attack U.S. forces at the Guantanamo naval base — an act, which Bamford notes, would have amounted to treason. And another was to fly low level U-2 flights over Cuba, with the intention of having one shot down as a pretext for a war.
  • Afraid of a congressional investigation, Lemnitzer had ordered all Joint Chiefs documents related to the Bay of Pigs destroyed, says Bamford. But somehow, these remained.

  • "We have had quite a bit of stability even in the worst-case scenarios, hyperinflation, default and a complete melt-down of the banking system in 2001. "Greece is a playground compared to what happened in Argentina."
  • "There are many countries where impunity reigns and I would say the most disappointing - obviously on a different scale - is the United States where the torture that has happened during the war on terror is not being investigated by political decisions not to investigate it." "In the US there are civil society groups that pursue justice very valiantly but in terms of public opinion there is still this idea that these are people we don't care about, names we can't pronounce." He added: "There is generally an attitude that if torture keeps us safe then we don't really care about it.
  • "Argentina has moved on, is moving on and in fact is moving on thanks to the trials not in spite of them. It is moving on to more respect for freedom of expression, freedom of association."
