Free History Resources Online

I love researching subjects. Here's a list of resources I've found for history. I hope it helps, if it doesn't at least it didn't hurt. Please leave me a comment if you find something useful or just to let me know you were here.

6. Hyperlinked World History in Biblical Perspective
From their website: "This network offers a free world history course from a Biblical perspective. Content within a Christian worldview of history believes that from creation to Christ's return, history pivots on His resurrection.

Hyperhistory.net provides structured yet flexible course versions such as "Advanced Placement World History" that may be easily individualized per student needs. All the necessary content is organized on line with no materials to purchase. Our history shows a ministry aimed to benefit the nearly one million homeschool students in the United States, of whom an estimated 80% have Christian affiliations. Additionally, studying throughout 115 countries, are 1,030,000 students of ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). Nearly half our students are evangelical missionary kids."

7. Historesearch

8. Bible History
From their website: "The focus at Bible History Online is history and the Bible. The Bible is about God's activities in history. It deals with actual people in an actual geographical area during actual specified historical times who had contact with other actual peoples and empires whom we know of from sources outside the Bible. Knowledge of the historical background of the Bible is essential to any serious student of the Scriptures.

Recent archaeological discoveries as well as comparative historical research and philological studies, along with an analysis and interpretation of the Old Testament text have made possible a fuller and more reliable picture of Biblical history than in previous eras. The Lord has allowed our studies of the Bible to be greatly enhanced with the tremendous technology of the computer and the Internet bringing the pictures of the past as well as the work of devoted teachers and scholars right into our homes.

I found these sites, and I'm letting you know about them. It's up to you if you want to use them. Personally, especially with biblical subjects, I check to see who's behind it. Sometimes free isn't always free.
