An excellent collection of images on African-American or indeed American social history in the C19th.
World Digital Library Home - 2 views

A useful site for historical images from around the world. I guess the great thing about these kinds of resources is that they're going to grow over time.

Flickr: History Directory - 0 views
-
This is an enormous repository of images on flickr all devoted to history. The images are uploads are all done by random people (problem) so the tagging might be even worse than when I bookmark sites to our group. There'll be some gems in with all the trash though - useful for PowerPoints, sources on exams, student assignments, etc?
Flickr: The Commons - 0 views
-
I'd already saved this but it's such a good source for primary images that I've updated the tags and re-saved it. Flickr contains a surprisingly vast collection of historically relevant images and I'd recommend it for classroom resource design or student research. I guess, like with all user-generated content, there will be issues with the legitimacy and authenticity of some of the images however there are still many reliable photosets I've found which would be useful for a history teacher.
-
This is a collection of publicly held photographic archives, all put together on Flickr.
The Classics Pages: Antony Kamm's 'The Romans': start page - 0 views
-
Most of the information from this site is secondary, however it has some quotes from ancient authors in context and some beautiful images. The site maintains that the images are copyright and should be used only with permission and of course we'll do that. Of course.
Pitts Theology Library: Digital Image Archive - 0 views
-
This site is a digital image archive maintained by the Pitts Theological Library. Would be useful for the history of Christianity. It's a bit awkward to use though as you have to do a search either by scriptural reference or call number (and who knows those?).
Early Manuscripts at Oxford University - 0 views
-
Scanned images of manuscripts from seven collections held by libraries at Oxford University. Extensive and without translations. Most of them are in medieval Latin.
Flickr: The Library of Congress' Photostream - 1 views
-
Contains collections on World War I, the Depression, Women's Lib and Honest Abe, among others. I'd imagine it will grow with time. I've actually found Flickr much better as a source of quality historical images than Google images or Wikimedia Commons.
Studies in Scarlet - 0 views
-
A good site for sources on the OJs and Michael Jacksons of the C19th.
-
Studies in Scarlet presents the images of over 420 separately published trial narratives from the Harvard Law School Library's extensive trial collections.

Bodleian Library: Western manuscripts to c.1500: Browse images - 0 views
-
Excellent images of the manuscripts to a high level of detail, however no translations available. When will these people realise that everyone's Medieval Latin is a little rusty these days?
