provides access to "special collections" such as the Society of Antiquaries of London library catalogue and to
digital gateways serving communities interested in history, performing arts, text studies, and visual arts via the
Arts and Humanities Data Service catalogue.

standards. In addition to CDs of Marching
Bands, Videos of Military Vehicles, and the Royal Navy Video catalogue,
this site also contains Historic military film footage, including that

Cunard Shiplines Archives.
A great place to find out what happened to ships. Look through this and if you see
a ship which was lost in (for example the Tuscania in 1918) the war, you can read
about it and it's probable sinking by a U-Boat

Tracing members and for the notification of next-of-kin of members of the former German

involving the U.S. from the American Revolution to the Persian Gulf
War
National Archives [US]
There's quite a few good WW2 vehicle pics in there if you want to
sift through it all - especially now that some of the photo's from
the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library at Hyde Park have been added. For
these, try searching the collection called "phoco" which has 1400
entries - list the items starting around about 900 and browse from
there. Don't forget to tick the box to only return records which have a digital image.

models for nearly 50 years. Members share a common dedication to learning about
ships and maritime history through academic research
Northern Light
It currently covers about 3,400 popular and academic journals, and I would expect that coverage to
increase with time. Its index can be searched for free, and it will supply electronic versions of the articles and reviews
in its journals for one US dollar apiece, a great bargain.
