A quick Sunday evening post for those who like to spend their online time learning about the most diverse things. 

Open Culture - a quick one stop shop for a wealth of online resources for language learning, interesting podcasts, free ebooks and classic films, etc. 

Khan Academy - mostly science lessons and exercises, but also has a growing collection of history, art history and American Civics, for those a bit more humanities orientated. 

Smithsonian Podcasts - One stop shop for Smithsonian podcasts (also available on iTunes, but a chore to search through. 

Archaeology, Museums and Outreach - a recently published blog post detailing the best free downloads. I’ll be adding them to the Free Museum Resources Online page in the next couple of days. 

Museum ID - Publishes a journal and has recently completed a nine-book series of which one chapter of each is available to download for free. Free!

Enjoy! And don’t forget to let me know if you find any great, free museum-related resources online that I can add to the growing list.

Oxford has the First World War Poetry Digital Archive. It’s an absolutely fantastic resource, with original writings/letters from various well-known war writers, IWM interviews with veterans, film footage made during the war, photographs, and podcasts with lectures/interviews/debates about WWI Lit. 

I can’t recommend this site enough.

{It’s pretty focused on the UK, but this year they’ve also been working with European libraries to branch out.}

Reblogging for future reference.
