Important People in American and World History

The sites listed below were developed to coincide with the curriculum frameworks from the State of Massachusetts. Where appropriate, additional names, places and events have been added to augment the list. They provide valuable information of names, places, times and documents for all who study American and World History. We will strive to update this information as often as possible to keep readers current with relevant information in this area. We tried to find at least one web site for each name or topic noted.  In some cases we have listed multiple web sites.  If you have a site you would like to nominate to add to these listing feel free to email us with your recommendations.
