This site is devoted to showing American history in a unique way: through a user-friendly web calendar. Birthdays of people in American history as well as events in American history can be viewed using these AJAX enabled calendars. Events can be downloaded and loaded into your iCal compliant calendar program (click on the subscribe link at the bottom of the calendar). There is a print button on the calendar that allows you to create a printer friendly calendar. RSS feeds are also available that display the week's birthdays and events.
The site adds new people and events regularly. There is a History Browser that shows a week with color coded entries. You can scroll weeks forward or back. A map shows related places when appropriate. You can subscribe to the feed, search the site and use their calendar on your computer! Definitely worth a bookmark any year you are studying American History.
