Digitised pamphlets from the period of the French Revolution. From what I can tell they're all in French. C'est la vie (I probably misspelt that).

Quite funny. Is in the grand old tradition of such greats as Historical Tweets (which I recommend you Google if you've never heard of it. My students love it).

I thought I'd added these already to the group, however the Diigo toolbar tells me I hadn't and he's never to be doubted. Please don't ask how I know the toolbar is male. These collections are well-organised and high-quality. Focus on the US (for obvious reasons).

An interesting blog from Canada seeking to collect a, um, collection (it's the first day of the holidays and my frontal lobe still has not recovered from the marking season. Sorry...) of articles by historians which are relevant to the broader community. His argument that history has become too specialised and irrelevant is compelling. It gels with much of what I experienced at university, anyway. As I've said before, I use a blog reader (e.g. Google Reader, Bloglines) to collect these types of sites into one place. I get many of the sites I post to the group that way.

You'll find the United States AP World & US History course documents available for download at the bottom right. They have outlines of what is covered in the courses and also example assessment items. I'm going to use them this summer as I redesign our school's work programs. Even if you don't teach in the US they might be helpful.

How cool is this? A (hopefully legal...) collection of free documentaries. There are 61 full-length history documentaries at the moment including 'Fog of War', a documentary about the Kennedy administration.
