I must admit that I am a big fan of documentaries, which can be great informers of historical events. Recently I found a rich source of free documentaries on the web. DocumentaryZ is a portal for documentaries on a variety of topics, including biography, science, health, military, and history. At the history link, I found videos about U. S. and World history, including a great documentary on the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, which yielded some useful information for a post Civil War novel I’m working on. The site has a search bar, but when I entered the term “Lincoln,” I only got the one result. Nevertheless, the site could be useful for a researcher who prefers a multimedia approach to historical research rather than straight print.
