Your ringside seat to history - from the Ancient World to the present. History through the eyes of those who lived it, presented by Ibis Communications, Inc. a digital publisher of educational programming.

This site has pages on historical topics containing secondary and primary source information. It's probably more suitable for junior classes than senior research, although it does have excerpts from contemporaneous texts.

While this site has items for sale, the "Multimedia Resources" tab under "Resources" has many FREE interactive online resources! Interactive maps and websites, videos and games!

A glossy and well-resourced site with information on the main conflicts of the twentieth century. Takes a British perspective (unsurprisingly).

This is a great site! I am very impressed with the quality of the pictures and the use of them.

This very useful site has been around for a while yet recently has updated its format and design. Excellent site for sources on American history.

Thanks for the link, David. Actually, the site now also has tons of world history content. See our Features on Chinese history, Indian history, Women's history, Islamic history, and more.

When teachers more broadly realise how many brilliant resources there are like this out there the days of the boring textbook lesson will be numbered!

A fast, fun overview of world history content. Comparable in some ways to The Millennium series by CNN. Some think this would be good for "flipping" the classroom. I happen to disagree - since it is too fast. Better for review imo.

Entertaining and informative series on topics in world history.

My students LOVE LOVE LOVE this series! I use them as unit openers in my honors world history class to previw the big ideas and hook them to that unit. I create higher order thinking type questions they answer after or questions where they predict things about the unit. But the videos are awesome!

Information on the documentary Peoples Century 1919-15

"Democracy at War: Canadian Newspapers and the Second World War is a fully searchable digitized collection of 144,000 contemporary newspaper clippings that report on the events of the Second World War as that great conflict unfolded." Awesome!

Collection of resources on modern American history organised by topic.

It's great to see federal governments starting to provide quality sources online like this. Hopefully it will pick up.

A group of digital collections focussing mainly on audio recordings from the C20th, medieval manuscripts & images, pamphlets & drawings, photos and songs from World War II.

A collection of sources related to many aspects of the Presidency of Franklin Delanor Roosevelt. Delanor - what were his parents thinking?

A site with sources related to many aspects of the Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Delano - what were his parents thinking?

A collection of primary source materials on some of the key decisions of the C20th & C21st. Also contains information on voting records and also humanitarian records.

A collection of primary sources with some guide questions for students, organised around distinct periods of US history. Provided by the National Humanities Centre.

High-quality, well-organised images of selected artefacts from the Smithsonian, with accompanying information. Great for student research into American material culture.

Contains thousands of documents from the Nuremberg Trials. Search function is excellent, too. Very organised. I like organised.

The Harvard Law School Library has approximately one million pages of documents relating to the trial of military and political leaders of Nazi Germany before the International Military Tribunal (IMT) and to the twelve trials of other accused war criminals before the United States Nuremberg Military Tribunals (NMT). The documents, which include trial transcripts, briefs, document books, evidence files, and other papers, have been studied by lawyers, scholars, and other researchers in the areas of history, ethics, genocide, and war crimes, and are of particular interest to officials and students of current international tribunals involving war crimes and crimes against humanity.

No information on how much is there, but going on the quality of the other source sites provided by Harvard Libraries it should be quite extensive.

The Joseph Berry Keenan Digital Collection-comprised of manuscript materials and photographs-offers researchers invaluable insight into the Japanese War Crimes Trial -- one of the most important trials of the twentieth century.
