- Uniting the Kingdoms? is one of the online exhibitions on the Public Record Office Pathways to the Past web site, the adult learning section of the National Archives. The site looks at Britain during the Middle Ages, from 1066 until 1603, focusing on the interaction, conflict, and identity of the four individual countries that make up the United Kingdom, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. It also considers the role of France, and England's French territories, in the shaping of these nations. Each country is considered individually, with text tracing their dynasties, fortunes, and relations with their neighbours. |

- The Victorian Britain web site is one of the online exhibitions published by the National Archives Learning Curve, and has been designed to be used with the History National Curriculum. It is aimed at Key Stage 3-5 students, but the material is of a very high standard and would be useful to other history students and teachers. Using the 1851 Great Exhibition as its reference point, the site looks at different aspects of Victorian life and considers whether life improved during the course of the nineteenth century. The topics covered are industry, public health, leisure, poverty, crime, and views on gender, and include information on coalmining, cholera and typhoid, the coming of the railways, the New Poor Law and workhouses, the establishment of the Metropolitan Police Force, and the inequality between men and women. Each topic is interactive, containing facsimile images of primary source material, video clips, and short fun activities designed to help users understand the main points of subjects. |

- The HOLNET London at War web site is published by the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists, and was developed with funding from Sir John Cass's Foundation. It has been designed with Key Stage 2 and 3 students in mind, but contains a great deal of useful materials that could be used by older students and researchers. The site is concerned with life in London during the Second World War, and investigates four key areas, Shelter, Air Raids, Daily Life and Children and the War. The first two sections look at the impact of air raids on London, looking at the various shelter options, including the Morrison and Anderson shelters, and the use of the London Underground, as well as the impact of the Blitz and the creation of the Air Raid Precautions division. Children and the War deals with the impact of evacuation and the experiences of London's youth during the war, and includes two first-hand accounts of being an evacuee. |

Meet Miles (May 16 2003 00:55 GMT) - These are photos of my two-day-old nephew, Miles Muir Barefoot (he's the smaller, bald one). That's my fatigued-looking brother Kevin holding him. Miles was six pounds and six ounces (I think) and fourteen inches long. Mother and baby are healthy, and they're planning to go home Friday or Saturday. Apologies for the lousy quality, but they were taken with one of those cardboard cameras. |
