In my last post, I shared my excitement at find the brilliant World War II history project called Real Time World War II that is making use of Tweets to recount the war years 72 years later.  It turns out that there are other similar projects using Twitter to tell historical stories.  Here are three more:

@BBCCov1940

This is a day by day account of life during the World War II Blitz in the Coventry and Warwickshire area of England and covers 1940.  (The Blitz was the bombing of English cities by the Luftwaffe.)

@UKwarcabinet

This is a day by day account of United Kingdom War Cabinet actions during 1942 in World War II.  Tweets are based on original Cabinet Paers from 1942 held at the UK National Archives.

@JFK1962

This is a project of the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library and recounts the President’s 1000 days in office.  Tweets are currently following events in 1962.
