The History Guide Web site by Steven Kreis is a fine example of what content orientated websites should be. Here you will find a definition of history and a guide for students of history. You will also find a series of detailed history lectures. It also includes a resources section for historians. Examine this great content orientated site and learn about the past and how to develop your own Internet presentation.

Sections

1. A Student's Guide to the Study of History
   This guide is a useful aid to high school and college students who are either taking history classes or who intend to major in history as undergraduates. In this guide you will learn how among other things, to take notes, and how to use resources. Through these lectures, notice that the Socratic method is used to present history.
2. What is History?
   This section describes what history is and what it is not.
3. Resources for Historians
   In this section you will find useful resources from Primary Documents to resources for teachers. Dr. Kreis cautions us not to forget to visit the library because the Internet is but one tool for finding information on history.
4. Lectures on History
   The three sections of history lectures found on this site are the main attraction of The History Guide. Dr. Kreis created these lectures for the courses he teaches. These lectures are for undergraduate courses in European History.
   • Ancient and Medieval European History
     This is a series of 30 lectures covering the period from the Ancient Near East (4000 BC) to the Black Death (AD 1350) and will be completed by the end of the year.
   • Modern European Intellectual History
     This series covers the period most appropriate for this topic. You will find twenty-six lectures from Abelard (12th century) to Nietzsche (19th century).
   • 20th Century Europe
     This series primarily focuses on Modernism that Starts with Nietzsche and ends in 1989.

All of these lectures are informative and useful for everyone interested in history and want to know about the past.

1. Syllabi For European History
   This section is useful for both teachers and parents who teach their kids at home. These outlines are from courses taught at Florida Atlantic University (Davie, FL) and Broward Community College (Coconut Creek, FL) between 1988 and 1996.
2. Educational Philosophy
   This section describes Dr. Kreis philosophy of Education. An interesting insight for beginning teachers and for those who plan to take his courses.
3. About The Author
   As Dr. Kreis states on the main page of this web site, read his autobiography before you consider pursuing a graduate degree in history.

I highly recommend this site for everyone interested in history and the uses of the Internet. This web site will give you an excellent idea on how to develop your skills in research and presentation.

Webmasters should study this site to gain insight on how to develop content orientated web sites. Dr. Kreis, thank you for providing an excellent example of presenting history, for all to see.
