History
| We're continually reviewing new sites and adding resources, and appreciate your comments and suggestions. Suggest a link here |
| Brought to you by the National Historical Society, this site is "Where
History Lives on the Net." It's organized well and provides
interesting reading on a wide range of topics in world and American
history as well as "History Talk" and book reviews. |
| Summarizing photography from its beginnings through 1920, this is a
text presentation with information on the contributions of dozens of
people and processes in early photography. It's an excellent resource,
well organized for ease of use. |
| The Timeline and related articles on World War II alone would justify
this as an outstanding site, but The History Place also features
wonderful exhibits on The American Revolution, the Holocaust, The Civil
War, John F. Kennedy, and more. For your travels, see the list of
historic areas by state. |
| This award-winning ThinkQuest site provides a great overview of
the Holocaust. Included are: a summary, a glossary, an interactive
timeline, words of survivors, and a virtual visit to a concentration camp.
There are also considerations of Neo-Nazis today, "what would you
have done" dilemmas, quizzes, and more. |
| "A World Wide Web Server for Medieval Studies," Georgetown
University's Labyrinth provides an "Ariadne's Thread" to guide
you through the knowledge they have uploaded to the web. The information
is divided into subjects such as National Cultures, International
Culture, and Special Topics. A wonderful resource. |
| From the Museum of Science in Boston, this is an excellent Leonardo da
Vinci site. See QuickTime movies of the Leonardo ("Scientist,
Inventor, Artist") exhibit the museum hosted in the summer of 1997
and use multimedia presentations to learn about the Renaissance and this
multi-talented genius. |
| Through the letters of Newton Scott, you can follow his life as a
Union soldier from October 24, 1862 to August 19, 1865. His grammar was
not the best, but this site is a wonderful way to get to know a
difficult time in U.S. history. |
| The Library employs multiple search methods to encourage the use of
its impressive site and its catalogs as well. The site's feature
exhibits tell America's story through documents, photos, movies, and
audio. There's an educators' Learning Page and a great Today in History
feature in addition to the massive research possibilities. |
| This is an exhaustive account of the life and voyages of Henry
Hudson. The author has combined many sources to offer a very literate
recounting of Hudson’s life and times, plus links to related Web
resources. Includes a text-only version. |
| What a wonderful blend of history, beauty, and travel tips. Do the
virtual visit of a hundred lighthouses (U.S. and Irish) or just the top
ten, learn which are endangered, or glean travel information for an
upcoming trip. Lovely. |
| There's more information here on "North American Aborigine
Projectile Points and Lithics" (arrowheads to most of us) than we
knew existed! There's a glossary of lithics terminology, a set of
labeled drawings of the various point types, lists of reference books
and periodicals, and excellent links. |
| You could spend hours wandering through this lovely site which
offers the exhibits of The Mariners’ Museum, established in 1930 in
Newport News, Virginia. Don’t miss the Maritime Album and the
Titanic, currently under New and Exciting. Also available: a research
library, archives, an online curriculum guide to a maritime Age of
Exploration, news, postcards, much more. |
| This is a guide to Web resources "for people who are interested
in the history, culture, literature and re-creation of the Middle Ages
and Renaissance." Most links have some annotation. |
| Looking for online research resources on various aspects of military
history? This is the place to go; there's great information here. |
| A great interactive tour of Monticello, with historical background of
Thomas Jefferson's day and scientific endeavors. This is a wonderful
educational site, including such things as his recipes for muffins and
ice cream and the written memories of his children and grandchildren.
|
| This is a wonderful place to learn about George Washington and his
home. There's a tour of the grounds in word and picture, biographical
information about the first US President, images and statistics which
help to know the man in his many roles, and a place to send trading
cards and complete interactive quizzes. |
| Here you will find an example of Norman domestic architecture. In
addition to views of Moyse's Hall and information about it, there is a
variety of other information including facts about the first hunters and
British Tribal Kingdoms. Very interesting. |
| Mr. Donn teaches ancient history to sixth graders in Maryland. This
impressive site offers his own units on Ancient Greece and Mesopotamia
(detailed daily lessons, activities, a unit test) plus wonderful
teaching resources he's gathered on a dozen ancient cultures including
Egypt, Rome, China, Africa, Aztecs, etc. Site also includes Mrs. Donn's
Special Sections, maps, games, and more. Excellent. |
