There are very few additional resources on the internet about Swiss history in English, although I do intend to make a little website here for all those students who do Matu history in English. There are plenty of resources and films in French. I found the following to be useful:
In 2010, RTS produced an innovative series of history drama documentaries called 'Live from the past' (En Direct de Notre Passé). A few episodes can be found on the internet: La République Helvétique (1798-1803), L'Acte de Médiation (1803), La Formation du Sonderbund (1845-1847) and La Constitution Fédérale de 1848.
More recently, RTS also produced a relatively big-budget, drama-documentary called the Swiss Civil War.
