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).

Has some very good articles related mostly to US history.

This is a series of links focussing on images of architecture from a wide variety of regions and time periods maintained by Professor Jeffery Howe (Jeff to his mates) at Boston College.

There seems to be an increasing tendency to put uni courses online and publicly available. How awesome!

Gotta love these Sourcebooks. Wonder when they'll do an Australian one...?

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.

This is a very interesting and unusual idea. Historians at Stanford have collected very specific and detailed information about historical events within short time frames and then produced graphic representations of these events that you can play over maps. It's very precise and perhaps too detailed for many high school level students to make sense of, however some of them helped show how historical phenomena occurred. Particularly chilling was the graphic showing slave purchases in the Rio slave market in the mid-C19th; you can see individual children being bought at specific times by specific people.

An extensive collection of texts and images detailing many aspects of life in the South during the twentieth century. Seems to focus on 'everyday' history rather than the big events. But then again history is about people, isn't it?

A well-organised collection of quality resources for German history since 1500.

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.

The Origins of WWI by Dr Gary Sheffield

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.

Centred mainly on British and European history in the C20th. Quite a few podcasts there on medicine in the C20th.

A list of links to sites focussed mainly on Canadian history. Has French bits too. I wish I could speak French.
