A Soviet Poster A Day - 9 views

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.
Human Rights Library- University of Minnesota - 1 views
-
Seems to focus mainly on contemporary human rights although there will be reference to historical conflicts and human rights breaches, I guess. Has links to over 4000 other sites and there are bound to be some useful sources in there.

Collections focussing mainly on medieval and early C20th European history in the US and Europe.

PROVcommunity - promoting research using records from the Victorian state archives - 5 views
-
A Ning set up by someone at the Victorian State Archives. Definitely worth a look for anyone teaching history in Australia, I reckon.
CMCU Workshops - 12 views
-
Is primarily focussed on Islam and religion however it has a wealth of general history links and lesson plans for history teachers. The lesson plans seem quite up-to-date in their pedagogic strategies and should be useful to the teacher who's looking for a 'planning-lite' solution to their lesson delivery needs. (I promised one of the people who designed the site that I'd give it a plug. It really is good.)
The Library of Congress' collections on Flickr - 8 views

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).
Portal:History - Wikiversity - 4 views
-
Wikis in general tend to arouse some strong reactions in teachers (I guess we've all seen what Google and Wikipedia have done to research in many history and social studies classrooms...) yet I thought some people might find this useful, especially towards the start of the year when you look back over your units. Which of course we all do. Of course.
