YouTube – History Documentaries/Channels

Using high-quality history documentaries and channels on YouTube can turn the platform into a visual library for your homeschool. By intentionally subscribing to reputable creators—such as museum channels, public broadcasters, and well-reviewed educational series—you can queue up videos that illustrate battles, biographies, archaeology, and more. Parents like the flexibility: it’s easy to preview content, build playlists tied to units, and watch at 1.25x speed to keep things moving. The key is curation and discussion: YouTube is free but uneven, so we recommend treating it as a source of primary-like moving images and explanations that you fact-check and unpack together.
