Just a couple neat sites:

Turning the Page
http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/ttp/ttpbooks.html
This a neato, peachy site from the British Library which has digitized some books, allowing you to "turn the page". Check it out because it is sooo cool! Not many titles are available, but it sure is fun. My fave is the atlas and Carroll's Alice--with the original drawings. If developed further, it would revolutionize how historians work. Imagine working with original texts, but without the worry of destroying them!

Map Builder
http://www.mapbuilder.net/
Another cool mashup site--create your own maps and include photos! Mashups are fabulous because you don't have to know the coding (or very little of it) to be creative. Why struggle to create your own code, when someone else has already done it? Kinda like the addons for Firefox...
