The World History Network
http://www.worldhistorynetwork.org
A guide to electronic resources in research and teaching on world history has been developed with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities (U.S.). The website is housed at Middlesex Community College in Bedford, Massachusetts. The Network includes descriptions of and links to nearly 200 electronic resources in world history. It works primarily through the Network Search, an internal search engine that enables users to select content, resource types, and keywords of interest, and call up relevant resources. Each resource is described and assessed, and is then available with a single click. In addition, the navigation bar gives access to a tour of the site, current announcements, recent research, methods, spotlights on leading teachers and researchers, a forum, and more. The Network is closely linked to the H-WORLD discussion group and to World History Connected, the electronic teaching journal.
World History Matters
http://chnm.gmu.edu/worldhistorymatters
Created by the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Delmas Foundation, the website is an online resource center that helps high school and college world history teachers and their students locate, analyze, and learn from online primary sources in world history.
The site contains two main areas: World History Sources and Women and World History. World History Sources is available now and Women and World History will be available in the fall of 2005. Among the resources to be found at World History Matters are:
1. A database of more than 150 website reviews written by practicing
teachers/scholars that are directed at helping students and teachers find
the best world history materials on the web. Eventually we will have more
than 200 websites reviewed in this database;
2. A series of guides to working with different types of online primary
sources, such as maps, images, or government documents;
3. Multimedia interviews with historians in which they explain how they
analyze different types of sources;
4. Essays by teachers in which they discuss how they teach particular
primary sources, such as the Huejotzingo Codex of 1531 or women's travel writing.
Women and World History, which will be launched in the fall of 2005, will
also include 20 lessons plans, with primary sources, for including women in the world history curriculum.
All resources on theses sites are free and can be copied for educational use.
