History comes alive on the Internet
History and the Internet make strange bedfellows. Documents monks scratched out in quill by candlelight now shoot around the globe in seconds to continents the monks couldn't have imagined. I think those monks would have been very upset if they had known a Xerox machine would be invented in a few centuries.
Now you can access all kinds of old documents online — Greek tragedies, papal decrees and even the first newspaper published in the North American colonies.
The History Virtual Library may be on the Kansas server, but it's maintained by dozens of people worldwide. The collections of links about various subjects and countries probably are the most comprehensive on the Web. I'm working on a list of journalism history links for this page for a class, but I promise I'm not just putting it up here to suck up. Many other history-link pages online borrow from this directory.
www.ukans.edu/history/VL/
collecting links. It's a collection of articles and illustrations from Harper's Weekly, one of the best news magazines of the second half of the 1800s. It has woodcutings of the Civil War and most presidential candidates from that era. Not all of the content is free, but there's enough to make the site very useful.
www.harpweek.com
This is one site I've looked at a lot while
This site has some good resources, but it has the same problem as the History Channel. There is more to history than large explosions and massacres and some guy screaming "Oh, the humanity!". This site is war, death — and then a little more war. Although www.historychannel.com is a solid site, it's a little shallow on content. It has about 17 different "This Day in History" categories, though, so for random facts, it's a good source.
www.thehistorynet.com
Speaking of the guy who screams "Oh, the humanity," you can find a lot of old audio clips online. This site includes clips of Amelia Earlhart, P.T. Barnum, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr. and
www.historybuff.com/realsaudio/
John F. Kennedy, as well as the crash of the Hindenberg, World War II, the Lindbergh kidnapping and the moon landing.
www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html
I really, really hate sites with frames, but this site makes frames work. It's structured around a time line of world history, similar to those really big ones on high school classroom walls. Throughout the time line are links to small articles, but the real candy is the dozens of maps.
www.newseum.com/cybernewseum/
This site probably is the most technologically advanced of the pages I looked at. It's rooted in journalism, but anyone interested in the history of the 20th century can get a lot out of it. There's plenty of video in the section about the fall of the Berlin Wall, and photo essays of Pulitzer Prize winning pictures and Stalin's historical revisionism through photo editing are compelling. A look back at 1999 through the eyes of political cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize winner David Horsey, complete with audio files, is hilarious.
Two other high-end sites are the virtual Smithsonian Institution at 2k.si.edu and the PBS history site at www.pbs.org/neighborhoods/history/. The Virtual Smithsonian has more sparkle but less content than the PBS site. One highlight of the PBS site is a project on Napoleon, including a brief game that lets you re- enact Waterloo.
A great thing about all three of these sites is that the all have low-end versions, so you don't have to have Ethernet to enjoy them.
