MILITARY HISTORY
The number of Internet search engines seems to increase along with the
size of the Internet itself. Now it is possible to use several of these to find
quickly some web sites devoted to most any topic. We list some of the best
search engines at the top of this page. However, there is still a value in
creating one's own list of web addresses in order to be able to go quickly to a
topic of interest. These are some of the more useful locations for information
on Military history. Some of these are themselves merely huge lists of web
addresses organized into categories. Others are essays on narrow topics. We
have an index of all our own web sites at
xenindex. Some of these
are also listed below, but many are not. This list was last corrected on 14
June 2001. Please send comments and corrections to
Xenophon.or make a comment in the
guest book.

Search
Engines
This is a list of Internet Web site addresses that may be useful for
educational purposes. I recommend you use at least four of these search engines
when compiling a list of sites related to a topic of interest. There will be
some overlap, but a large number of sites will appear on only one search.

has very broad content. It has 211 million web pages indexed plus a special
collection with on line business library of 6,200 full books and magazines.

gives users a chance to earn some cash.

popular search sites, it analyzes links for relevance to the subject, by
looking for how many are linked to it. I find it is very fast and returns a
large number of relevant academic web sites.

purchased by Google. But this is still the main page for research on the tens
of thousands of items that have passed back and forth via email on the hundreds

Castles
As with any topic one wants to research on the Web, castles poses a problem
of definition for the search engine. If one uses keywords "castle and
history" with Excite, for instance, the engine returns 1,743,343 hits,
many of the top ones are for specific castles. With this in mind, if you know
what castle in particular you want, use the name immediately. For instance,
Kenilworth Castle returns 105 hits and even Deal Castle gets 10 sites. If you
want information on castles in a particular country, then use that in the
keywords. The following addresses have been found of some interest.
