Hi there

Atm I am studying to become a teacher (history and informatics). If everything goes well I will normally graduate in june.
For my final paper I have chosen for "The Celts"

Its not a paper in its purest form. I am going to collect as much pictures/drawings/maps/etc .... put them in powerpoints, make exercises for the kids (age 14 - 16) and make a manual for the teacher. Doesn't sound like allot of work but believe me, it is!

So the question is pretty simple: I know how to use google :P (it gives 1.320.000 hits for "The Celts"), but if any of you have interesting websites with lots of information or, even better, lots of photos about the celts, please let me know :).
It can be pictures about anything: Where did they live, where did they move, religion, political, daily life, economics, war, art, music, the celts today, ...

Also if you know any good books (in Dutch or English), let me know. I can better have too much information than not enough.

Thanks in advance!

Ah yes, I know that school. Hmmm...that means you've got a quite limited library to work with when it comes to history. Especially this subject. However the hyped yet historically not too correct book 'De Oude Belgen' by Ugo Janssens isn't hard to find. You might want to take a look at that. It's centered on the Belgae at Caesar's time. It's doesn't have that many photographs, but it might help with the basic history. It does have a good map of Gallia and Belgica and the tribes living in it. Of which it also has short descriptions.
