Internet History Sourcebooks Project

What a find - Pocket PC eBooks Watch points to the Internet History Sourcebooks Project, a treasure trove of links to primary history sources, organized chronologically and thematically. I've been looking for history texts to read on my Pocket PC, but it's been difficult. The commercial selections are limited, and the free ones, while abundant, are often one big hodgepodge. More than half the work in studying anything is organizing the information available, which this site seems to have done an amazing job of. The sources are divided into three main eras, Ancient History, Medieval History, and Modern History. And for those (like me) intimidated by the idea of learning about history through primary sources, there's even a guide to using primary sources.

The texts are in plain HTML, so you can use any 'ol reader program to convert and read them on your Pocket PC. I'll be using iSiloX to convert the pages, then read them with iSilo.
