| This site features information on Columbus's historic voyage from
the Library of Congress archives. Not much on graphics, but a lot of
good information here. |
| Biographical information on individuals featured on A&E's
Biography series. Lots of information simply presented makes this site a
great online resource. |
| This book, published online, covers a period of 207 years of U.S.
History. It starts with the ratification of the Constitution and ends
with the 1996 Presidential Campaign. It has some pictures and links to
other sites which provide supporting/additional information. Very
interesting! |
| The Academy of Achievement brings you pictures and stories of "legendary
achievers" of the 20th century in areas such as arts, public service,
sports, and science. It’s a diverse and interesting group. There’s
also a section where you can hear achievers tell how important qualities
such as passion and vision have been to them. (Slow, but there is a low
bandwidth version.) |
| The Bibliotheque Nationale de France presents this large site
containing historical information of the King Charles V period. It's
organized well, with access to many documents, manuscripts, and works of
art. Available in English and French. |
| The complete notebooks of Alexander Graham Bell, containing notes on
his experiments, are scanned in and ready for your reading pleasure.
|
| This site provides information on Bell's research, with flowcharts of
his progress and experiments, and a helpful narrative to assist in
understanding the inventor and his path. |
| A part of the Duke University Special Collections Library, this site
presents a 36-page diary kept by a school girl, Alice Williamson, in
Gallatin Tennessee from February to September 1864. The diary focuses on
the occupation of Gallatin by Union forces.. |
| "One of the world's preeminent scientific and educational
institutions," the American Museum of Natural History offers here
exhibits and information on many aspects of natural history, as well as
museum information, news, and current research. |
| This online version of an exhibition on permanent display in
Washington D.C. is a history lover's delight. See, among many others,
the contents of Lincoln's pockets on the night he was assassinated,
Thomas Jefferson's handwritten draft of The Declaration of Independence,
or a baseball card from the late 19th century. |
| This site contains extensive information on the development and
history of the American West. There are maps, stories, and links
focusing on Westward Expansion (Lewis & Clark, Oregon Trail), The
Alamo, European Emigration, Women of the West, and Native American
Tribes and Nations, and even a whole area about western films. Lots to
look at and explore! |
| This is a Think Quest site and a very informative one, but you do have
to overlook a few minor problems in grammar and such. Learn about the
building (and sometimes the culture) of a half dozen early civilizations
including Egyptian, Greek, and Aztec. The style is straightforward and
should be easy for middle and even elementary school students to
comprehend. |
| This is a great resource for early American History. You can find
images of actual historic documents, solve an interactive cross-word
puzzle, read the Early American Review, and participate in a "Town
Crier" online forum. Wonderful content and pictures! |
| A large archive of mostly historical photos from the California Museum
of Photography's collection. They make you dig to get to the images, and
many of them are fairly slow to load...still, it's worth a trip. |
| This is a great resource about women from Canada's past. You will find
short biographies and references to other resources. |
| This is a very comprehensive, attractive, and well organized site
dedicated to the castles of Wales. It lists more than 170 castles, many
with pictures and one with virtual tour, and includes historical
information and a section on Welsh Abbeys. Complete with Welsh language
version! |
| This is a huge site offering information and links to everything about
the Civil War, from battles to people, collectibles to reenactments. |
| This "comprehensive index of costume and costuming-related
links" offers you 2000 categorized sites (Now there’s an
indication of how big the Web is getting!) where you can find information
on costumes, history, museums, design, materials, and more. Everyone from
trick-or-treaters to theatrical costumers welcome! |
