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.

Another site to help students use primary sources. Has some good questions to help students develop their eye for historical detail, motive, perspective, etc.

A list of links to medieval primary source sites maintained as part of a course at MIT.

This is a really cool resource. Kids need help putting size into perspective all the time. Heck, I need help with this a lot too! Thanks for sharing!

National Museum of the American Indian

great site that gives some perspective on the sheer size of the gulf spill

Memories of the Great Depression, submitted by Australians to the Australian government's website for the over 50s. There are 12 memories - they're good to present different perspectives to students.

This youtube video gives students a great perspective on reasons for the American Revolution. It is a parody of the song "Its Too Late." I think your students will love this video! The song is presented by Soomo Publishing, a company that specializes in interviews and documentaries.

That is fantastic! As my students might say, epic lolz.

I was looking for sources earlier this year for Native American history while I was teaching a unit on Australian indigenous history (I wanted to show the similarities and develop a fresh perspective in my students) and with both topics I struggled to find quality teaching materials, printed or digital. At least this can provide some background information and neat visuals for the students if you're doing a unit on indigenous peoples in the New World.

A growing collection of primary source documents on the Cold War from the American perspective.
