Thomas Daccord, M.A. has created an amazing clearancehouse of the best history sites online as an initiative of his Center for Teaching History with Technology.

The website is comprehensive, well organized, and easy to navigate, offering annotated links to more than 1000 history sites on the web ranging from prehistory to oral history to history today. Explorers will find portals to PBS, BBC, The Library of Congress, and many museum sites, among other fine collections.

This is a great place to start for anyone with a question about history or an interest in developing their knowledge about a particular time period. The links are all outstanding and up-to-date, making this a fabulous resource for life learners of any age.

Of particular interest may be the games and animations page, which offers links to several online history games like Battlefield Academy, Death in Rome, or Destroy the Castle.
