EUROPEAN HISTORY general information (below) Links to other pages of resources: Anglo-Saxons,Vikings, and Normans Some sites will appear more than once on these lists if they apply to two or more categories.
The Museum of @ntiquities is a collection of information about Britain, from the Late Stone Age (Neolithic period) through Roman times. Based at
the University of Newcastle, it has links to facts on Hadrian's Wall, the Roman Army, and more. Limited but interesting.
British History (4000 BCE to modern times) is a very comprehensive site with relatively short, well-written articles about each
topic. It has separate sections on Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Mr. Donn's Ancient History includes Greeks, Romans, Celts, Vikings, and more plus a number of non-European peoples. Keep scrolling down the page!
Walk Through Time is an interactive BBC site that takes students through periods
of British history from the Romans to the 1950s. Although it's aimed at students younger than our class, it is still quite
suitable for older learners, too, especially those who have not grown up in the UK and do not have a broad base of general
knowledge about these things. BBC History is the parent site of the one above. This has things of interest to adults as well as kids. Interactive, frequently updated,
well-organized. History Index They aren't kidding! This is a massive index to internet information about everything from African Studies to Web Development.
More topics than could be imagined. Most are intended for college use, but there are some places worth going. Let us know
if you find something especially exciting that we should post separately. The Ancient World Web is an enormous index of links to sites relating to -- yes -- the
ancient world. You can find out about ancient bacteria, ancient Roman recipes adapted for modern ingredients, Hawaiian mythology,
ancient plumbing, mummification techniques, and far more. Probably more than you want to know about. It is also somewhat uneven
in the reliability of the contents of its sites and should be explored with a bit of cautious skepticism (as opposed to reckless
skepticism?). Great fun, though. A lot of sites relating to this year's study are listed here. English History on the Web Links and links, with a webmaster's introductory caution that we should all write above our monitor screens: "Anyone
can publish anything on the web." No guarantee that all of this is scholarly or accurate. Mythography is a site dedicated to Greek, Roman, and Celtic mythology. There seem to be no myths here but there is a fairly good
listing of principal gods and heroes, and there is a discussion forum. Cartographic Maps is a wonderful collection of JPEG images of maps classified as
Ancient, Late Medieval, and Renaissance. |
