[LM_NET] TAR: World History databases?

[timosh <timosh@MCHSI.COM>]

Greetings again, different topic:  

Are any of you using an online database devoted to world history?  

A new class is being developed at our high school, and I am looking for online 
resources to support the curriculum.  I can dig out the print resources, but the 
instructors want electronic resources as well.  

The resource would have to be truly WORLD history, not just European/Greco-Roman 
history. 

We will have  ancient history units on China, India, (now) Middle-East, Egypt, 
Ancient African kingdoms, Korea and Japan. (The old favorite standards of Greece 
and Rome will be covered also.)   The objective of the course is to study ancient 
cultures in various areas of the world, and relate them to current world events.  

Kinda sounds like a lot of fun. ;-)  ...especially pulling all the resources 
together. 

Any ideas on electronic resources?



Thanks,
