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.

British Empire Gateway
A very useful set of links and guide to Imperial resources by Jane Samson. A good launching pad for serious academic work on the British Empire.

Documents in Military History
A very straightforward site designed for students to use evidence in their studies. It has some useful sources for the Imperial historian, including Gordon's Khartoum diary and newspaper articles covering colonial escapades such as battling with pirates off of China or the invasion of Tibet. Simple but effective.

Boondocks: Anti-Imperialism pages
It is always a good idea to take on competing ideas and theories. The Boondocks site is about as anti-this British Empire site as you can find. The material is thoughtful and well presented, but it is concerned almost entirely with American Imperialism. However, there are some useful pieces on Rudyard Kipling and his call to Americans to take up the White Man's Burden.
