Looking at Buildings: This website is the latest venture from Pevsner Architectural Guides and the Buildings Books Trust. It includes Understanding Buildings (an introduction to architecture), Reference (research tools including glossary, links and architects index) and Exploring Buildings (architecture in detail). Each section is supported by images and interactive features, with suggestions for further reading, links to related pages within Looking at Buildings and other sites of interest.
Sources for Building History is Jean Manco's guide to researching historic buildings in the British Isles. It explains how to find related manuscripts, maps and images, while pointing out some of the pitfalls of such sources. Sources for specific building types are given together with information on the type. A section of the website covers ecclesiastical sources. Subject bibliographies include dating, fabric, gazetteers, local history and materials. There are annotated links to relevant archives held by record offices, local libraries, museums, galleries and universities and online catalogues. The site also includes contextual material providing an introduction to town and village development.
Time Team: This website allows you can catch up on the latest programme updates, see more of the personalities who make Time Team tick as well as unearth more of the archaeology that brings Channel 4's award-winning series to life. If you've always longed to try your hand in the field, why not simulate the archaeological experience in Time Team's new interactive whodunnit Time Detectives. The website also has a comprehensive A-Z of Archaeology and an illustrated timeline.
Southampton's Archaeology Collections are now available online. The Archaeology Object Database is designed to increase access to the city's Designated archaeology collections and provides a virtual tour of the city's archaeology collection, which spans prehistoric Roman, Saxon and Medieval periods. The database is the result of three years extensive work documenting the collection. It is funded by the Resource/DCMS Designation Challenge Fund.
