5 Libraries for History Students

 

Online Libraries for History Students

If you are a student studying history or working to earn your degree in education than you should be interested in using an online library. Online libraries save time, you don’t have to leave your house to access tons of information, and they are usually free. Plus, you will never have to pay late or damage fees so they are a great way to study on a college budget! Here are three of the best online history libraries.

Digital History
Digital history is exactly what it sounds like; a digital history log. The website contains interactive material, reference material, reading material, textbooks, documents, teachers, guides and more! Digital history works in collaboration with several museums and institutes of history such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Chicago Historical Society, the National Park Service and more. Students may use the website without signing up and material is approved for both teaching students and for research and reference purposes.

Internet History Sourcebooks
The Internet History Sourcebooks are a collection of copyright permitted textbooks, books and study material that has either run out of copyright or is legally permitted for free public use. The project is funded by the Fordham University. The layout is clean and intended for educational and research use rather than for advertisement or profit.  Categories include ancient history, modern history, medieval studies, history help, history by country and more.

Perseus Digital Library
The Perseus Digital Library is the worlds’ largest collection of online material on ancient history. From ancient Greece, ancient Rome, art in history, coins, images, photography, texts, textbooks, articles, mythology and fables and more. The library is an open source funded website that updates each time they receive funding.  Subjects are divided into easy to search categories and do include material in other languages, scans of documents and other rare finds. This is the perfect online library for anyone studying the ancient world.
