Excellent collection of primary source sets on women's suffrage. Interestingly, it shows the counter-movement against women's suffrage by some women. Fascinating stuff.

I don't usually add blogs however this one has so much quality historical material on real life in the USSR that I thought some people might find it useful. Might help to dispel some of the myths about life in the big bad evil Soviet Empire.

One of the few early sources we have for pre-contact indigenous history. I find as an Australian history teacher that the indigenous history of Australia is fascinating and useful to study, however the paucity of quality sources (primary and secondary) makes it difficult to teach. Hopefully that will improve with better scholarship on the topic in the future.

There are a couple of pages on this site which might be useful for history teachers in challenging us to reflect on our practice. I don't know about you, but too often I get so caught up in the bureaucratic paperwork and day-to-day of teaching I forget to reflect on the big picture of what teaching history is all about...

Based on a proposal by a school principal from Saratoga, NY, U.S. railways created the Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones, plus the Intercolonial time zone in Atlantic Canada. It was agreed upon by the railways in October 1883 that they would adopt Standard Railway Time, on Nov. 18, 1883.

I'm not a teacher. It's inappropriate for me to suggest a teaching aid. For that reason I need advice on whether the Egopendium approach could bring an enjoyable twist to the subject. If it's rubbish, don't hesitate to tell me.
