Japanese Old Photographs in Bakumatsu-Meiji Period
The site will be useful to instructors looking to add visual sources to enliven a discussion of Japanese history at this critical moment in which Japan confronted the threat of Western imperialism and embarked on its own urgent project of modernization.

Australian War Memorial
This website provides extensive information about the history of Australia at war, through primary and secondary material, as well as information about the memorial itself.

A section of the site called "In the Classroom" offers numerous lesson plans for elementary and middle-school teachers, some written by museum employees and some by schoolteachers themselves, using materials in the online exhibits.
