OCEAN
OCEAN Indexes the best history content on the net, including material in History World, from which it evolved. Also offers a toolbar with history search and timeline of world history.
From the site:
OCEAN (One-Click Edited-Access Network) is new from HistoryWorld, itself an award-winning educational site.
At the centre of the network is the OCEAN index, already containing more than 35,000 precise links to external sites.
This is (as far as we know) the only place where human editors are selecting the best online pages to deliver precise historical content on all branches of general knowledge.
No more sifting through the chaotic results delivered by search engines. And all OCEAN links are checked daily to ensure they are available.
