What it does
The Internet History Sourcebooks Project assembles historical texts into chronological and thematic sourcebooks for educational use.
Use the ancient, medieval or modern sourcebook for a period question, or a thematic collection for a cross-period topic. The project states that its texts are public-domain or permission-based selections for education. Read each document's context before using it as representative of a whole era.
The project recommends its indexes as the main route through the collection. Read each document’s permission note separately: the collection includes both public-domain and copy-permitted texts, and older external links may need an archived copy.
