<p> History on the Internet</p><p>There many excellent resources for the study of history available on the Internet. Keep in mind, however, that not everything published on the Internet is reliable information. We should all be careful and use our commonsense when surfing the Internet. </p><p>One of the outcomes of a history class is to learn to look critically for signs that the information is trustworthy (for example, the use of citations that can be verified, accredited sources, a peer-reviewed journal). Always check the information you learn form online against reliable sources elsewhere (and that does NOT mean just checking two Internet sources because often one site just borrows information from another without checking the information first). </p><p>Some useful online resources include: </p><p>GENERAL:</p><p>Ancient World Web -- a comprehensive index of ancient history and archaeology resources online </p><p>ANCIENT NEAR EAST AND EGYPT:</p><p>ABZU </p><p>Exploring Ancient World Cultures </p><p>ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME</p><p>Ancient Art </p><p>Ancient Greek World virtual gallery -- a museum portal to the world of Ancient Greece (with some links to Rome ) </p><p>Diotima: Materials for the study of Women and Gender in the Ancient World </p><p>The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization (a PBS site) </p><p>METIS: A QTVR Interface for Ancient Greek Archaeological Sites Perseus This website has excellent resources, including a Greek history textbook, and thousands of images of sculpture and architecture. </p><p>Roman Emperors </p><p>Visual Tour through Late Antiquity </p><p>THE MIDDLE AGES</p><p>ORB : The Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies </p><p>The Labyrinth: Resources for Medieval Studies </p><p>Later medieval research guide -- custom-made research pointers in high- and late- medieval history </p><p>THE RENAISSANCE, REFORMATION, AND LATER</p><p>Virtual Renaissance </p><p>1492: An ongoing voyage -- Library of Congress exhibit on Europe and America up to the early 1600s </p><p>PRIMARY SOURCE DOCUMENTS </p><p>Internet Ancient History Sourcebook </p><p>Internet Medieval Sourcebook </p><p>MUSEUMS:</p><p>The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology</p><p>The Metropolitan Museum of Art (NYC) </p><p>The Museum of Fine Arts (Boston) The Oriental Institute (University of Chicago) </p><p>The Kelsey Museum (University of Michigan) </p><p>The British Museum (London) </p><p>The Louvre Museum (Paris) </p><p>Click HERE for a list of other museums with collections from Egypt, Greece, Rome.</p><p>SEARCH ENGINE:</p><p>Argos: Limited Area Search of the Ancient and Medieval Internet</p><p>OTHER HELPFUL WEBSITES</p><p>The Encyclopedia Britannica (This is not a free site, but you can sign up for a one-time 14 day free pass) </p>
