A few awesome things:
Images from the American section of a world history for Japanese children published in 1861, including pictures of George Washington punching a tiger and Franklin aiming a canon with his bare hands. For context, this is less than a decade after Perry. NB: careful with the attribution. (via and all over)
The complete organ works of J.S. Bach, as recorded by Dr. James Kibbie on several baroque organs, free for downloading. Large numbers of royalty-free recordings of classical music from MusOpen. (via)
Database of European megaliths. (via)
