2292 sources of C19th wisdom. That's a good question for the forum - can we learn from history? I might start a thread... I really need a life.

Got sick of looking at this site in my tabs. I'll go back and add them individually. One day. There are nearly 2000 sites there related to medieval history. Guess someone had no life...

Primary source documents focussing on the contribution of Brooklyn to the US Civil War. Which apparently was significant.

"Bound for Glory: America in Color is the first major exhibition of the little known color images taken by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information (FSA/OWI). Comprised of seventy digital prints made from color transparencies taken between 1939 and 1943, this exhibition reveals a surprisingly vibrant world that has typically been viewed only through black-and-white images."

Might be useful in showing your students that everything before the 1950s didn't happen in black and white. A humbly titled collection.

The images are organised around themes and can be viewed in very high resolution. Very interesting to see too that even 65 years ago Japanese people always had immaculate hair all the time. Amazing.

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.

Doesn't have a whole lot of material (most of it seems to be illustrations and reconstructions rather than primary sources - understandable I guess given the paucity of material culture) yet given the scarcity of materials on the topic I thought it was worth saving. A fascinating topic for students.

Great for primary sources on British history. They also have an active programme to connect with history teachers and have plenty of resources specifically for school history.

I don't usually save blogs, but thought this might be useful for people when you're looking for places to find decorations for your classroom. Why pay a fortune for some dodgy poster from a textbook company when you can download posters directly (or even better, go to www.historicaltweets.com - I've got some up in my classroom in A3 and they rock!) and print them out. Saves on budget, too.

I'm being lazy by saving such a large number of collections at once, however there's no other way for me to get through all of the sites I have sitting in my browser. I'll probably come back later and save them individually.

A little self-indulgent, however I'm interested in seeing what other people do with their classes. This is the montage of our recent medieval tournament. We also do an archaeological dig and other historical re-enactments. If anyone else has footage, images or descriptions of activities or re-enactments they do with their classes I'd be really interested to see them. And steal their ideas.

"Digital technology can make the works of man permanently accessible to the billions of people all over the world. Andrew Carnegie and other great philanthropists in past centuries have recognized the great potential of public libraries to improve the quality of life and provide opportunity to the citizenry. A universal digital library, widely available through free access on the Internet, will improve the global society in ways beyond measurement. The Internet can house a Universal Library that is free to the people."

Couldn't agree more. They reckon their collection will grow to over 10 million texts. An electronic Alexandria. It's the ability to sort the wheat from the chaff that makes Diigo such a powerful tool. Especially now it looks so sexy!

Searchable database of images of buildings, objects, people, etc. Is run out of UC Berkeley so will probably focus on West Coast USA. That's just a guess though.

"The twentieth century has been a century of war. It began with the Boer War in South Africa and ended with the Gulf War in Kuwait and Iraq. This tragic legacy suggests that citizens of the twenty-first century have a shared responsibility to attempt to understand how and why these conflicts occurred and to discover how peace efforts contributed to the resolution of international conflicts.

Primary sources devoted to helping people understand why the C20th was a time of such visceral conflict. If you believe Niall Ferguson it had to do with ethnic diversity in regions of deteriorating economic conditions and declining imperial control. My high school history teacher reckoned it was ideologies. Many of you will no doubt have other ideas...
