A varied collection which is not well organised for searching for digital resources, however if you're willing to spend some time looking around you'll find WWI propaganda posters, artworks and other useful historical sources.

A comprehensive list of links to documents on all periods of history, mainly focussed on the West. Seeings this links to all sorts of sites there will probably be a few dead links but it purports to link to documents and is maintained out of a university so should be useful for research and study.

"This websource provides access to a growing collection of digitized historical documents, images and materials, along with past and current analysis on the history of the University of California." Just what we like!

An excellent 'hub' (that's a buzzword for you) for primary sources from all eras and regions.

This site is briliant! A bunch of exemplary librarians maintain a list of high-quality sites which can be used for historical research on Europe. It's especially good for World War One but also some of the smaller European countries which are often hard to find information on.

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.

This is the blog which accompanies the podcast Stuff You Missed in History Class. Like just about all History podcasts, it's easily found through iTunes. My students have found the format on SYMIHC as user-friendly and valuable for their research. Worth a listen.

A teacher of AP World History, Bill Strickland, has kindly allowed people access to this site. The enrolment key is 'monty'. I got this through the AP World History Teachers group on Google Groups.

Including a tour of a Zhou-era tomb

Edited text of the "Edict of Milan"

Article describing the Edict of Milan. Includes this important note on sourcing: "[The Edict's] terms are known to us only from a rescript issued six months later by Licinius. (This rescript was sent from his capital in Nicomedia-now Izmit in Turkey, just east of the Bosporus-to the governor of the nearby province of Bithynia. The Christian writer Lactantius has preserved its original Latin, while the church historian Eusebius gives it in Greek. ) "

An innovative and useful site. It presents historical events as news stories with a depth of information that is impressive. Written in a lively manner, this would be suitable for high school class activities or even student research. They provide their references.

fabulous blog on the Silk Road. Links to many good sources, including video.

"Confucius (551-479 BCE), according to Chinese tradition, was a thinker, political figure, educator, and founder of the Ru School of Chinese thought. His teachings, preserved in the Lunyu or Analects, form the foundation of much of subsequent Chinese speculation on the education and comportment of the ideal man, how such an individual should live his live and interact with others, and the forms of society and government in which he should participate. Fung Yu-lan, one of the great 20th century authorities on the history of Chinese thought, compares Confucius' influence in Chinese history with that of Socrates in the West."
