Back to topic index Topic: Geography Resources (T13) 10/11/02 Mark, amateur historian, Ottawa, Canada I am just an amateur historian (with an interest in geography)... came across your site and thought to make some suggestions that might help in broadening coverage. You might like to consider: BUBL Information Service http://bubl.ac.uk/link/ Carto Corner--Fundamentals of Cartography (National Atlas of Canada) http://atlas.gc.ca/site/english/learning_resources/carto/index.html City University of New York, Mina Rees Library: Selected Web Sites http://library.gc.cuny.edu/Research/index.htm Dutch Electronic Subject Service (DutchESS--Royal Netherlands Library) http://www.kb.nl/dutchess/index.html GeoExplorer http://www.geoexplorer.co.uk/ Geo-Guide http://www.geo-guide.de/ Geosource http://www.library.uu.nl/geosource/ Historical Text Archive http://historicaltextarchive.com/ History Guide http://www.historyguide.de/ History On-Line (Institute of Historical Research, London) http://ihr.sas.ac.uk/search/welcome.html Internet Resources in History http://www2.tntech.edu/history/resources.html Links for Students of History and the Social Sciences http://www.vwc.edu/~dgraf/graf32a.htm One World--Nations Online http://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/ Research Resources for the Social Sciences http://www.socsciresearch.com/ World of Maps http://www.maps.ethz.ch/ WWW Virtual Library Map History / History of Cartography http://www.history.ac.uk/maps/ 10/13/02 studentsfriend.com reply Mark, I very much appreciate your input...and what do you mean "just" an amateur historian? Me too. It's my fondest desire that all of my students would like you become amateur historians. 10/14/02 Mark's reply Glad to be of help--the "just" just means that I am truly an amateur, not professional., although many years ago I was a research assistant on (several Canadian historical documents). By the way, if you ever want to consult a comprehensive site for Canadian history: Online Resources for Canadian Heritage http://www.civilization.ca/orch/www00_e.html And a useful Geography site: Canadian Council for Geographic Education http://www.ccge.org/splash/splash.htm And this UK site also has considerable History content: HUMBUL Humanities Hub http://www.humbul.ac.uk/ 2/3/03 Mark Also, a couple of other useful geography sites: BBC Country Profiles http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/country_profiles/html/default.stm Economist Country Briefings http://www.economist.com/countries/
