First hand accounts of significant events through history. Could be a great source for primary documents.

The Museum Box site provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box. What items, for example, would you put in a box to describe your life; the life of a Victorian Servant or Roman soldier; or to show that slavery was wrong and unnecessary? You can display anything from a text file to a movie. You can also view and comment on the museum boxes submitted by others. The project was inspired by anti-slavery campaigner Thomas Clarkson who carried a museum box with him to display artifacts of the realities of slavery.
