A historical atlas focusing on Queensland history. I'm into historical atlases at the moment.

A useful overview of the importance of research in high school history and how it is generally structured in Queensland. Relates particularly to the QLD syllabus but other jurisdictions may find it interesting. Research is particularly emphasised in our current curricula here at the moment. Thanks Lisa!

Henri loves his tree-ring dating and that's why he set up this site with all things dendrochronological. Would be useful if you're doing archaeology with your students (it's customary in Queensland for year 11 students to do a unit on that).

The British School at Rome Archive (BSR) thanks to the Getty Foundation, made freely available digital copies of the John Bryan Ward-Perkins photographic collection. A website of the "BSR digital collections was created to present not only the photographic material (Photographs) but also other types of resources which follow into different categories: Maps, Prints, Documents, Postcards, Drawings, Paintings and Manuscripts". But "the majority of the digital images displayed on the website are represented by the photographic prints and negatives from unique historic collections, including calotypes, glass and film negatives, slides and lantern slides."

Seems to focus more on the history of the British School at Rome rather than Roman history. Should revise the tags at this point but this summer heat here in Queensland is making me lazy...

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).
