World History Sources

This page is an incomplete collection of sources that I've used in World History courses at various places that I've taught, and will be updated periodically. It includes a mix of print and video materials, some of which are freely available on the Internet, while others require access to subscription databases provided by either an academic or public library. If you're mostly interested in primary sources, the Internet Modern History Sourcebook has a great collection.
