An Old-Fashioned Education is a gateway site geared to the homeschool community that contains hundreds of links to online resources that include lesson plans, textbooks, classic literature, boys' and girls' fiction, books on teaching, and so on. These are mostly from the mid-twentieth century and earlier--very few items are from this century. The emphasis is on materials used to teach our young people before the "progressives" got hold of our schools.

However, it seems not to have been maintained for several years and some of the links may no longer work, although just about all of those that I clicked on were still good.

Another useful site is Gateway to the Classics, a database of online books, poetry and stories for young people. Ebook versions of the materials are for sale but they can be read on the site for free. The site is searchable by author, title, and type of material (books, poetry, stories, even nursery rhymes). Information for each item includes date of publication, grade level, and genre.

And millions of books, videos, archived websites, etc. are available on the Wayback Machine, which has been in existence since the late twentieth century.
