It created and recreated territories and countries in Europe, creating the basis for many of the territorial disputes and national anxieties of the twentieth century. The treaty can be downloaded in one file or in sections and is essential knowledge for those with an interest in twentieth century history, politics, nationalism and international relations. The treaty covered areas such as: |

- The Web Site "UK Local History Legacies" is published by the BBC. Its aim is "to scrutinise the same UK history that you can find in any book or website, but to show how this history unfolds across every locality of the UK". The site also allows a focus on the diverse microcosmic elements of local history that are sometimes subsumed by the emphasis on national histories. It features sections on immigration and emigration, nicely illustrated by an easy to use map (although at the time of cataloguing Cheshire had metamorphosed into Staffordshire). The user can choose a location and read about local myths and legends. |

- The Web Site "Women of History" resembles an encyclopedia of famous women from 400 CE to 1700CE. It is an amateur site, but encompasses an extraordinary range of women and is extremely good for reference. It is of interest to those studying history, and women's studies in particular. It is a rather eclectic choice of women, and the basic biographical facts are presented with illustrations. The site is straightforward to navigate and is presented in the form of a list of names divided quite simply into 1-50 and 50-. |

- The Web Site "Witchcraft in Medieval Scotland" is a mixed bag of a site with some useful but some erroneous information. Alarm bells are bound to ring when the reign of James I and VI of Scotland is described as 'medieval' rather than early modern, and the subject of witchcraft is an easy target for all those with alternative historiographical leanings. There is good basic information and quotes from sources on several famous cases, such as those concerning John Cunningham, Agnes Sampson, and Elspeth MacEwan, as well as on the various witchcraft acts passed in both Scotland and England. However, the author's ideas on the causes of witchcraft and its links with a selection of pagan traditions is naive at best. Those who seek more than a brief overview of the Scottish witchcraft trials should seek their information elsehwere. |

- The Web Site "Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft" features a permanent exhibition located in Iceland. This is a site of use to undergraduates and those researching the history of witchcraft at a higher academic level. The site is in Icelandic, French, English and German. There is little written on the phenomenon of witchcraft, its practice and trials for witchcraft in Iceland, so this is an excellent site for comparative purposes for those interested in the history of the so-called witch-hunts. There are brief sections on sorcery in various areas of Iceland, including Strandir, in the early modern period. |

- The Web Site "Charles II : The Power and the Passion" is published by the BBC as a supplement to a four-part drama of the same name. It recounts an interpretation of the life of the controversial king, who restored the monarchy after Oliver Cromwell's protectorate and Richard Cromwell's brief succession, in 1660. The site combines historical biography with insights into the making of the drama, which provides a good overview for those thinking about a career in public history. There are summaries of the four episodes and links to other BBC links on both Charles II, his father Charles I and Oliver Cromwell. |
