Which website(s) would you recommend?

by TilenMat

Do you have any favorite websites that you like to follow/read on with articles on history?

My favourite one currently is Ancient History Encyclopedia (https://www.ancient.eu/), and even though they are mostly concentrating on ancient history (as the name itself gives it away), you can easily read on many other topics as well. But I am interested in what other sites like this one are out there and which one(s) would you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

JSTOR :P

More seriously, I only read them infrequently but I quite often see people recommend the Smithsonian and BBC History magazine websites here as coming out with interesting, accurate articles for a general audience.

  • The Junto, a blog on early America written by academics, with very readable articles.

  • Age of Revolutions, on world revolutions. There's an emphasis on the American, French, and Haitian revolutions but there are articles on other ones too.

  • The online Holocaust encyclopedia run by the U.S. Holocaust Museum, which has articles on the Holocaust and also the interwar years and WWII in Europe.

  • The International Encyclopedia of the First World War about WWI and the different events and historical phenomena associated with it. It has a very broad scope and is not confined to Europe and the U.S. It also contains a lot of social, cultural, and political history instead of just military history.

  • Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, an online exhibit about the French Revolution. It's very well written, and contains essays, images, and primary sources. One of the editors is Lynn Hunt, an eminent historian of revolutionary France.

  • Revolution and the Fall of the Wall, an online exhibit about opposition to communism in East Germany, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and German reunification. Has a lot of great images.

  • Seventeen Moments in Soviet History, about the history of the U.S.S.R. Contains essays and primary sources. I haven't read much of this one yet but what I have seen is good.
