Fordham Internet History Sourcebooks Project (IHSP)
The Internet History Sourcebooks Project, is a collection of public domain and copy-permitted historical texts presented cleanly (without advertising or excessive layout) for educational use. The project is maintained by Fordham University in New York. From the outset the site took a very broad view of the sources that should be available to students and as well as documents long associated with a “western civilization” approach to history also provides much information on Byzantine, Islamic, Jewish, Indian, East Asian, and African history. You will also find many documents especially relevant to women’s history and LGBT studies.
The project however does not contain images of the actual text and therefore should not be used as a primary source for research. It can be useful as a place to browse historical documents before finding better versions of them.
