| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| The high school teacher who developed this site has built a resource
which examines history through the Arts (Art, Music, Drama, Literature,
and Culture) of each historical period. She starts with prehistory and
takes you through the medieval period to the present. Lots and lots of
links. |
| This lovely "on-line community for lovers of antiques &
collectibles" offers vendor booths and an online bookstore to
browse, a number of useful articles for the enthusiast, an appraisal
service, and more. |
| Among the Holocaust resources you'll find here are poems and stories
written by survivors, historical information, and a guide for teachers.
|
| If you're looking for a biography about a woman important in history,
here is the site for you! There are writers, educators, scientists,
heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists,
entertainers, and others. Listed alphabetically or by field of activity. |
| If you’re in or going to Oregon, you can visit the
Interpretive Center and get a real feel for what life was like on The
Oregon Trail. If not, this site can still help you with lots of Oregon
Trail information, especially in the History of the Trail, Wagons, and
Stories sections. |
| This is an online view of an exhibition of maps and journals examining
the planning of the Lewis and Clark Expedition The exhibition largely
utilizes documents from Thomas Jefferson's personal library of
explorers' accounts, geographic works, and maps. |
| This piece of NOVA Online is just too good to miss. Chuck Yeager flew
the X-1 to break the sound barrier for the first time on October 14,
1947. Here you can read and listen to his words and those of other men
vital to that effort and get a feel for what it was really like to step
(or fly) into the unknown. (While you're here, check out a lot of other
great NOVA stuff too!) |
| The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago offers this
award-winning site. "Life Over Time," the current exhibit, has
extensive dinosaur information. The currator's archeological discoveries
in South America are also chronicled here. |
| The biographies presented here offer you glimpses into the lives of
these women. The information is supplemented with pictures of the First
Ladies and links to biographies of their husbands. |
| Put together by a ThinkQuest team of high school students from the
Netherlands, and all the more remarkable for that, this is a literate,
thorough, and entertaining history of the Forum of Rome, concentrating
on the period from 100 B.C. through 100 A.D. The creators quote one US
professor who recommended the site not just for secondary schools, but
also for introductory college level Roman history. It's that good. |
| If you're interested in researching your family name, the Geneaology
Toolbox is a great starting point. |

color. Includes a teacher's guide. |

with the wonders of modern technology, we could not build it today! No
wonderful graphics, but this is a fascinating study of the ancient
pyramid and its history. |

interesting aspect of this century's history, archives of past articles,
