No, I don't think it has and it looks really good too. Thanks Donald. There's also an associated blog.

I'll add this to the compilation at the beginning of the thread.

Of use?

Modern graffitti but... some particularly interesting images of the Israeli 'peace' wall that certainly could kickstart discussions - for lots of topics (perhaps contrast with Berlin wall). There is also a rather crude image of Queen Victoria somewhere within the larger website which is not, I believe, 100% Historically correct!

Banksy peace wall

Does this make us hip cats now, with this 'street' link?

:D

English Heritage searchable visual archives:

1) Viewfinder - photos of buildings and people in them, but also some excellent themed collections (eg Britain at work)

English Heritage viewfinder

2) PastScape - buildings in their geographical context. Links to old/new maps, aerial photos as well as pictures of specific buildings. Very fancy!

Some good pics/links to pics of British multicultural History

Belfast Murals

Lots of images of the murals on flickr. Could be a good resource if you teach N. Ireland.

Have added this to the compilation at the top of the thread.

I've made a video to introduce the Depression and New Deal. It uses the song 'Brother will you spare a dime' and can be viewed (with lyric sheet) at http://www.ilovehist....php/?page_id=8

All the best,
