History

The Smithsonian Institution Home Page: No study of history can be complete without including a trip to the Smithsonian.

American Memory from the Library of Congress: This site consists of primary source and archival materials relating to American culture and history. It includes prints & photos, documents, motion pictures, and sound recordings. There is a search guide, activities, and an educator's page. Nice! Be sure and check out the Civil War Timeline!

Dead Sea Scrolls: If you are interested in the Dead Sea Scrolls, check this out.

Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village Online: Information on visiting the museum but also online histories, too, such as on the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, and of course, Henry Ford. And don't forget to take a visit to the General Store, where you can pretend to be one (or all) of seven real people who lived in Waterford in 1886, and discover what items they might have purchased

The World Wide Web Virtual Library: Museums: A huge list of museums around the world (and not just history museums)

Odyssey in Egypt: This is the coolest interactive educational site I have seen yet! Middle school students dig Ancient Egypt via the Internet in a 10-week course. I listed this site twice to make sure you don't miss it!

Reconciliation Press - The Century War Chronicles: Quality historical fiction, carefully crafted with a focus on developing and sustaining a high level of reading interest in upper elementary and middle school age boys, for whom an absence of quality reading material has been widely recognized.
