It’s with a great sense of relief that I’ve finally launched the ActiveHistory History Store - a massive repository of history books, history CDs and history DVDs available from Amazon, organised by date period and by genre (historical fiction, popular history, history study books, history dvds). There are hundreds of resources available here which I have personally selected and which I hope you will find useful.

If you have any further ideas about what history resources should be included in the store, please let me know!

I have developed the Classtools.net random name generator so that words can now be “removed” from the fruit machine after they have been selected. This means that using the game in class doesn’t result in the same people / keywords being selected several times each session.
