BBC Schools: Vikings
"From the first Viking raid on Britain in 794, until their final expulsion from Scotland in 1468, the Vikings were in Great Britain for seven hundred years. This BBC School site explores the Viking invasion, Viking life and Viking beliefs. My favorite click is the Shockwave game, Thorkal and the Trading Ship, where you visit the Jorvik (now known as York) to buy five gifts for your captain’s family in Norway. For more multimedia fun, visit BBC History: The Vikings."

American Memory: Today in History
"Today in History draws upon the extensive online American Memory collection of the Library of Congress. Each day it covers a couple of events from American history, with lots of links back into the collection for more depth. Because of the unique nature of the primary sources contained in the American Memory, the daily anniversaries covered here are most likely different from those in today’s other sites."

A Walk Through Time
"In the 1840’s a Greenwich standard time for all of England, Scotland, and Wales was established, replacing several ’local time’ systems. The Royal Greenwich Observatory was the focal point for this development because it had played such a key role in marine navigation based upon accurate timekeeping. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) subsequently evolved as the official time reference for the world and served that purpose until 1972. This fabulous site, produced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, presents both the history of timekeeping and a peek at its current state. If you want to coordinate your Windows-based computer clock to the NIST clock, you can download a program to do so over the Internet (look under NIST Time Calibration)."
