 Main Information 
   

Links on the left take you to descriptions of products which let you see and study the history of Western Civilization, and then create, using tools to select and present high points of  history in your own unique way.  They are easy to use, for 5th grade through college. 

History comes alive with beautiful images and carefully prepared captions (articles) covering the vast sweep of history, from our ancient ancestors to recent times.  Thousands of the images may be used in student reports, handouts and presentations created using  PowerPoint®.

Over 3,000 images, from 107 sources, include historical events, important persons, color pictures of ruins, statues and artifacts from ancient civilizations, hundreds of paintings and other works of art, and 100 maps.

 
There are  narrated Overviews to introduce each of the  fifteen major historical  periods. European history is explored in depth.  The histories of  Latin America, Asia, and Africa are also included (though not as thoroughly as in our World History products).  The more recent historical periods are packed with historical film sequences and original source historical recordings. 

These new- technology tools for teaching, learning, and creating get students deeply involved in the study of history.
