An excellent collection of sites by those awesome librarians at the University of Washington about British and Irish history. Well-organised and good quality.

"The Royal Historical Society bibliography is an authoritative guide to what has been written about British and Irish history from the Roman period to the present day. The Bibliography is hosted by the Institute of Historical Research, which is part of the University of London." How nice of them.

A site run by people really into their rocks. Has information and some high-res images of standing stones, stone circles and other prehistoric megaliths from Western and Southern Europe. Good for prehistoric Europe, the Celts or archaeology, I guess.

Has a massive and easily searchable bank of primary documents on British history. Quite amazing some of the stuff in there, especially primary documents on that Empire (capital 'E') that the sun was never going to set on... Forgive my impertinent colonial humour. I've got Irish blood.

Enormous number of links to portraits in the UK National Portrait Gallery.

Looks useful if you teach in the UK.
