It seems likely that you will need to have created a Google account in order to access Google Books offerings. * - It must be understood that in the early days of posting reproductions of old books online there existed several competing formats for their distribution, of which all but PDFs are now obsolete.

I can therefore give no guarantee that texts posted in other formats are still available.

Medieval Cookery - A Dictionary of Middle-English Cooking Terms. Medieval Technology and American History. From the early 16th century onwards, European settlers arriving in the Americas brought not only ideas about religious and political freedom, but also the skills needed to build communities, the ways of daily life in the Old World.

The technologies in particular differed little if at all from those their medieval forebears used to construct European civilization after the fall of Rome. The colonial American environment in which these technologies were applied led to a reorganization of industry and society outside the aristocratic control of Europe and provided the basis for the political developments that made a new nation.

This website explores some of the core medieval technologies that built the American colonies into an industrial powerhouse: milling and iron manufacture. In-depth articles, short essays, photo archives, videos, comparative timelines, and class projects all seek to demonstrate the transfer of these technologies to colonial America.

April 15th, 2014 by Roger Pearse Over the last couple of months, I have become aware of another individual who, quietly, and without any fanfare, is making a real difference to ancient history online. Her name is Carole Raddato, and she writes the Following Hadrian blog. What she is doing is travelling all over the Roman Empire, and photographing its material remains. The results appear on Flickr here. She’s going into museums, and photographing exhibits, and placing them online. In quantity: there are over 14,000 photographs in that Flickr collection.

And at very high quality: far, far better than anything we see in published literature. I became aware of her work, while working on the Mithras site. Again and again I would look for some artefact in some museum and then find … Miss Raddato had visited that museum and made a collection of photographs, all now freely online. A lot of people put holiday photos online.
