- Infoseek's index
history links
- includes
a wide variety of links to news, education, and politics. If you
dig a little deeper you will find some interesting history links Be aware that this is not a filtered site, not all of the links
will necessarily be up to classroom standards. This would also
be true for Yahoo's Social Science
page which contains links to almost all areas of the social sciences.
The same caution would also apply to Excite,the
Lycos' index,
and Magellan's.
All of these search engines have indexes or directories to help
locate whatever you are looking for.
