THE INTERNET HISTORY SOURCEBOOKS

• Internet Ancient History Sourcebook
  A "classroom usable" sourcebook of copy-permitted material for Ancient history and civilization courses.

  This is an online source book of copy-permitted, although not necessarily copyright-free, source material for Medieval Studies. It is the largest online resource of medieval and Byzantine textual sources.

SOURCEBOOK THEMES

The following consist of thematically based subsets of texts entirely taken from the three main Sourcebooks listed above, along with documents from the subsidiary sourcebooks.

• Travelers' Accounts
  Traveler's accounts of their journeys and the lands they visit are important sources in understanding the past.  As outsiders, travelers often note aspects of a culture that are too commonplace for local commentators to mention. More than this, travelers often provide some insight into how their own society understood itself in relation to other cultures.

Update Information 2006: 

As of late 2005 links to course pages at UNF at Internet History Sourcebooks Project will no longer work, and have been removed. It is hopped that this "darkening" will not be permanent.
