Cool history links, please.

In My Humble Opinion
1

I was wandering around the 'net looking for the coldest winter on record when I chanced upon some really cool history sites. Apparently The New York Times 100 Years of New York has been up for 5 years. And then there’s Forgotten New York– more coolness.

And then I found this ABC News site Trials of the Century and Associated Press’ History photo archive and I thought I’d share with you all.

Now you. Got any cool history links?

Lotso good stuff here, thanks all. It’ll take quite some time to read it all.
P.S. I’m a History Channel (AKA The Hitler Channel) fanatic, so The Secret History of WWII has got me engrossed.
