Select Bibliography

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 15:04:34 CDT

This select bibliography, a work in progress, aims to provide students with a starting point for further reading and research. Students can use these books not only to learn a little bit about their topic, but also to identify other books that are possibly useful.

Added an explanation of what citations and bibliographies are, so I can link to them from assignments I give.

American History

Thu, 1 May 2008 07:22:10 CDT

I don't do American history, but I sometimes run into news of primary sources online that I want to remember. Here's where I'll keep track of them. Often the links will lead to a blog post somewhere that describes the resource and contains the actual link to it. [two links so far, FBI and presidential tapes at the Miller Center]

Categories pages fixed

Thu, 1 May 2008 07:20:43 CDT

Flying Meat Software fixed the export bug in VoodooPad that led to the categories pages in this wiki being mixed up. Now the items on the categories pages are in alphabetical order, making them a useful navigation tool.

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:06:32 CDT

Studying History

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:56:24 CDT

I found some more posts on History Survey that needed migrating to the "Studying History" and new "Movies for History" sections.

Wiki Update

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:40:05 CDT

I've noticed the VoodooPad plugin I'm using to export my document to HTML is not alphabatizing the categories pages. Not sure what I can do about it short of reordering everything by hand, which would be too time-consuming for each update, especially as frequent as they are at the moment. I've contacted Flying Meat about it. Meanwhile, I have finished moving most of the information over from the three blogs I've discontinued. Now I can begin using this place to collect new information.

Hist 33-10 Themes in European Civilization I (Summer 2008)

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 10:21:23 CDT

The first draft of the course website for Hist 033-10 in summer 2008 at Georgetown University is now available.

Further progress on primary sources

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:43:45 CDT

I've made further progress on moving sources from History Survey Links. The organization of the topics on this wiki continues to evolve, and will in the future, as more material suggests new relationships.

Began moving primary source listings

Tue, 15 Apr 2008 22:57:11 CDT
