The Edwardian World
A delightful re-examination of Arthur Mee's Children's Encylopedia from 1910. It is available as a book and recreates many of the original images used by Arthur Mee. The value of the book though is the context and discussion of the inevitably wide range of issues from a century ago. Obviously, the book was published at the height of British Imperialism, so you can get a view of how the Empire was 'sold' to children.

Causes of War
A bibliography and collection of links on the causes of various wars, most of which have a strong imperial connection. The idea of the page is to understand how and why wars start with the idea of forewarning people of the danger of future wars.

British Empire And Commonwealth Museum
This is the web page of the museum in Bristol, UK. It is quite a nice website. It has recently opened up its images - although they are all copyright stamped and pretty pricey if you want to use them at all.
