[LM_NET] SHARE: History Detectives Website

["Ronda Y. Foust" <rfoust150@COMCAST.NET>]

Ran across this site and just got pulled in.  Of particular interest  
to me, and possibly useful to many of our students is the link to a  
video about Weighing Evidence (it requires Real Player).  The link is:

http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/video/index.html

The clip is relatively short (about 8 minutes) and gives a nice  
overview of primary and secondary sources, and discusses use of  
authoritative sources, but it is done in an engaging style, in a real- 
world setting, and isn't overly technical or dry.
