5 Interesting Virtual Museums and Activities for Students
As field trip budgets are increasingly trimmed at schools everywhere, teachers will need to find some alternative virtual activities for students. Here are five museums that offer excellent virtual tours and activities for students. The Vatican Museums website hosts a fairly detailed virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel. The tour allows visitors to zoom in on small areas and details of the interior of the Sistine Chapel. In addition to the tour of the Sistine Chapel the Vatican Museums host virtual tours of five other places and exhibits. The European Virtual Museum is the product of collaboration between twenty-seven European museums. Tenement Museum is a resource for US History teachers that can best be described as an interactive virtual museum. The JFK Presidential Library and Museum website has four interactive exhibits for learning about John F. The White House Diary is an interactive flipbook of Kennedy's schedule while in office.
film | story - About
Many people relate to and learn about historical people, places, and events through film. And, even though many historians love to kvetch about the historical inaccuracies of films that portray the past, we simply cannot ignore the fact that the public interacts with and learns about history primarily through film. What we can do instead is talk about the events of the past represented in film and use that dialogue as a place of learning. How can I use FilmStory? FilmStory invites you to have a sense of exploration and curiosity as you explore the relationship between history and film. Why don't I see this or that important historical film in the database? FilmStory is continually adding new films and updating existing content. Why aren't there more films from this or that country? We tried to cover the globe, but remember that film production varies greatly from country to country and not all countries produce films. How can I be a part of FilmStory? You are doing great work!

Archive
We preserve historical records relating to the RSA's activities and administration and make them available for research. A five-year project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, other donors and the RSA, provided new storage for the archives and ensured that the majority are catalogued. The catalogue is a guide to the records in the RSA Archive. It does not offer a digital version of the records themselves, with the exception of some visual materials that have been digitally scanned in at a low resolution and are for reference purposes only. A number of images from the Archive can be seen at the RSA's Flickr page. Explore Your Archive campaign The national Explore Your Archive campaign’s aim is to raise awareness of archives, their value to society and their impact. Archive Holdings The archives date from the foundation of the Society in 1754 and provide a wealth of information about its history.
