Headline History

This website uses real actors to bring to life four periods of history: Tudors, World War 2, Victorians and Romans. It is aimed at 7-14 year olds who can become reporters on a series of virtual newspapers and interview famous historical characters. Timelines put events into context and an events and venues section allows users to see what's going on in their region. Children can submit their own local history stories which will be published on the site.

The site is free to use, Curriculum Online accredited and won an Interactive Bafta in March 2005. It was created by Northcliffe Electronic Published and funded by Culture Online, part of the DCMS.

It's also been endorsed by BBC presenters Dick and Dom; author Jacqueline Wilson and actor Tony Robinson.
