    The scrolls and scroll fragments recovered in the Qumran environs represent a voluminous body of Jewish documents, a veritable "library", dating from the third century B.C.E. to 68 C.E. Unquestionably, the "library," which is the greatest manuscript find of the twentieth century, demonstrates the rich literary activity of Second Temple Period Jewry and sheds insight into centuries pivotal to both Judaism and Christianity.

    This is where the age of hyperdata is going. This map allows users to scroll through the city and zoom in on building. Clicking on a building will give detailed data of the builder, size and history. Civil War buffs can look for Mary Surratt's boarding house or the "F" street mess of southern senators. Or the Watergate hotel - the list goes on and on.

  • The students' documentary was part of National History Day, a program that more than 600,000 middle and high school students participate in each year.
  • They're going to archives, going to museums, doing real historical research. In the process of all this, they learn history, they learn about their nation's past. They learn important skills they can apply in their careers and in college.
  • We have empirical data that proves without a doubt that kids who participate in History Day outperform their peers who don't.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • In middle and high school, that's where the loss of instruction time comes.
  • has to be an engaged study of the past.
  • [National History Day] is not just for gifted and talented students; this is a program that does extremely well with kids in the lower quartile.
  • riginal research, you have an opportunity to form your own opinion on a topic. You're looking at original material. They do have to read secondary material so that they can have context. Have you talked to any teachers about how they're discussing the killing of Osama bin Laden with students? What should teachers be saying to their students? What's the importance of recent history in history class? I haven't had the chance to talk to any teachers since [last] Sunday. But I can tell you that what I hope they're doing is helping young people put this in perspective. I hope they're helping students understand the history of terror and understand why 9/11 happened in the first place. You have to understand the history of the Middle East and the history of the United States' role there, so you can draw some meaning and understanding. Using the word understanding doesn't mean condoning; it just means you need to understand why it may have happened. See how your school stacks up in our rankings of Best High Schools.

Turkey can avert a tragedy on the Tigris - Yahoo! News - 0 views

shared by Ed Webb on 27 Aug 09 - Cached
  • The issues are complex. Advocates and opponents cast the debate as preservation of the past challenging progress for the future, conservation versus energy, national interests versus minority Kurdish interests, nationalism versus the interests of neighboring countries. The government argues that the dam will bring irrigation and power to the region. Opponents maintain that much of the electricity generated will go to other parts of the country. Iraq has protested vehemently against Turkey damming the Tigris River just upstream and further restricting the water flow across the border. There is also the geopolitical drama of the European partnerships withdrawing and Turkey potentially pursuing other partners such as China and Russia.

    A large collection of images of medieval manuscripts however you can't zoom to a close focus and there aren't translations, except for a brief description of what each page on the manuscript contains.

    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.

    If you scroll down or click 'History' you'll see the History lecture podcasts offered by MIT. Personally, I use iTunes to subscribe to university lecture podcasts. My students find them invaluable for their research.

    access original books, like Vesalius's book on human anatomy and more.
  • HistoryGrl14 . on 29 Mar 10
     
    also has audio clips on each page giving explanations and little tidbits - as well as zoom controls and when you scroll your mouse over a page, a zoomed pop up appears with info...since we discuss Vesalius's book on Anatomy, it was a great way for my students to view the actual resource and draw correlations between him and the Renaissance - as the audio and extra info discusses his desire to help sculptors and painters...

    The Kennan Institute and National Public Radio in the USA has established an online audio archive of Soviet and Russian history. "The archive consists of recordings dating back to the earliest years of the Soviet state. Included are the voices and speeches of key political figures, including Lenin, Kerensky, Kirov, Beria, Stalin, Gorbachev, and others. Among the recorded interviews are Anna Larina (Bukharin's widow); Valentin Berezhkov, Stalin's wartime interpreter; Yelena Bonner, Sakharov's widow; and Lev Pevsner, a survivor of the Leningrad Blockade. There is also on-the-scene recorded sound of many events in Soviet history, including: the Russian and American armies meeting at the Elbe; Stalin's funeral; the August 1991 coup against Gorbachev. [...] The material comes from Soviet and Russian sources, the NPR archives, the archives of the BBC, and individual donors. Some of the material is in Russian, some in English. "

    The bulk of the audio files are in Russian, however if you scroll down closely there are speeches by significant Western figures too. Yet another excellent set of resources from the Woodrow Wilson Center.
