An excellent repository for images and video primary sources. Well organised and accessible.

Information on numbers of slaves transported from the C16th to C19th in the Atlantic Slave Trade. Some of the numbers look a little too precise to be exactly reliable. Interesting though.

A series of videos produced every year by the AHA at their annual meeting on different aspects of history. I haven't checked any, but they might be useful for the classroom.

A list of links to websites useful for student research provided by my old alma mater.

I think this one is even better. There's a free sample or you can buy the full collection of songs.

I know I'd already added this page to the group, however the resources that ordered arrived recently and they are so cool I decided to add it again. Most def worth a look for all the history peeps. The students dig it. You feel me?

A useful resource for engaging with Gen Y. The rap isn't bad (I think) and the quality of the historical information is quite good for a middle or high school level. They aren't free however they're not too expensive either.

This is the latest episode from the Hardcore History program, a podcast updated every month or two focussing on historical topics in often novel ways. Dan Carlin has a Bachelor degree in military history and his focus is on military and social history, which I and my students find interesting. I think sometimes his versions of history can be spurious (the latest one in particular) yet the value of podcasts for student learning are enormous. I make my students download iTunes and get them through that. Happy listening!

This History Ning (social network) is hosted in Portuguese however it's so large (17000 members!) that I thought it worth adding. It's on Ning - the same platform at the My History Network! OMG what a coincidence!

The Ball State University Libraries Digital Media Repository Collections in Indiana (USA) offers a French Revolution series of pamphlets which is "ranging from 1779 to 1815. Although the French Revolution happened in the decade ranging from 1789 to 1799, this collection of pamphlets documents the time leading up to the revolution through the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815).

This site rocks! You'll never use PowerPoint again. It takes a while to get used to, but the effort is worth it. I've done up this presentation for my year 11s to introduce them to history. I plan on playing 'Golden Years' by David Bowie and 'Think About It' by Flight of the Conchords in the background as a soundtrack. I'm guessing that you could edit and use it if you wanted. Pretty cool!

These H-Net mailing lists are a useful way of getting in touch with other humanities educators. Just subscribe & you're in!

The Post-Reformation Digital Library is a collection of resources put together by a group of researchers and relating to the development of theology during the Post-Reformation/early modern era (ca. 16th-18th c.), hosted by the Hekman Library in Grand Rapids, Michigan (USA) at the H. Henry Meeter Center for Calvin Studies of Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary.

Most of it seems to be in Latin. Probably should have realised that before I starting adding it as a bookmark. Oh well. Too late now.

"The Oxford Text Archive develops, collects, catalogues and preserves electronic literary and linguistic resources for use in Higher Education, in research, teaching and learning. We also give advice on the creation and use of these resources, and are involved in the development of standards and infrastructure for electronic language resources. "

I just didn't get that explanation. I read it three times and still didn't get it. It's from Oxford though so should be good.

The English Emblem Book Project of the Penn State University Libraries in Pennsylvania, USA, has digitized older form of texts, the emblem books, for the 16th to the 19th centuries. "An emblem book is a collection of images with adjoining text. In an emblem there is a dialog or tension between image and word. Emblems are frequently allegorical in theme. Emblem books are a form of text not altogether familiar to us today. An emblem book represents a particular kind of reading. Unlike today, the eye is not intended to move rapidly from page to page. The emblem is meant to arrest the sense, to lead into the text, to the richness of its associations. An emblem is something like a riddle, a "hieroglyph" in the Renaissance vocabulary -- what many readers considered to be a form of natural language."

"This is a collection of hyperlinks to digitized editions of source-documents and literature concerning early medieval Europe that can be found on the internet today. Sources listed here are all available to the public, free of charge. Currently there are 3696 entries in this collection. "

The Andrew Blake (1757-1827) Archive in North Carlolina, USA, is "not a physical repository of Blake's collected works, nor is it a clearinghouse through which users can obtain reproductions of those works. [...]" It is "an online hypermedia environment that allows its users to access high-quality electronic reproductions of a growing portion of Blake's work.

Hypermedia environment. Hmmm... But the poems are good.

Great blog focussed on technology and history education. Just the kind of thing we like!

A social network for history teachers on ning. The same platform that the My History Network is on, by the way... just thought I'd mention that... for interest's sake...

Excellent source site for American political history.

Comprehensive set of study materials on the history of the Middle Ages provided for tertiary students.
