About the Germany Under Reconstruction Collection - 0 views

  •  
    "The Germany Under Reconstruction digital collection [at the University of Wisconsin, Madison,] provides a varied selection of publications in both English and German from the period immediately following World War II. Many are publications of the U.S. occupying forces, including reports and descriptions of efforts to introduce U.S.-style democracy to Germany. Some of the other books and documents describe conditions in a country devastated by years of war, efforts at political, economic and cultural development, and the differing perspectives coming from the U.S. and British zones and the Russian zone of occupation. At the same time, the Germans themselves and the occupying forces look back at the National Socialist period and try to come to terms with what had happened."

Cold War International History Project : Documents : The Vassiliev Notebooks - 10 views

  •  
    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.

    Materials for SS teacher
  •  
    Contains many interesting perspectives and resources for history and social studies teachers. I use Bloglines to subscribe to blogs like this and keep them all in one place. Google Reader is also popular, I think. If you subscribe to good quality blogs like this then all you have to remember is the address of your blog reader and you can come across many interesting viewpoints from people who are actually in the classroom - not ideologically-driven careerists who publish through official documents from their ivory towers and have long since left the classroom! Long live educational democracy! Viva la revolution!
