19th Century Advertising
|
During the 19th century, one of the most consistently popular American
periodicals was Harper's Weekly, an illustrated paper whose circulation was
well in excess of over 100,000 on a regular basis. This fine site highlights
some of the many creative and inventive advertisements that were prominently
displayed in the periodical during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The
project was the brainchild of John Adler, a longtime history buff, who came
across a complete set of the periodical for the period from 1857 to 1916. On
the site visitors can browse through advertisements for appliances,
insurance, foreign travel, farm land, and various medicinal potions. The
selection of ads includes one for "pain paint," which begins with a brief
doggerel that includes a mention of the impeachment of President Andrew
Johnson in 1868. [460]

African Burial Ground
|
As the city of New York has grown up, out, and over an increasingly vast
area of land during the past few centuries, various sites of human activity
and habitation have become one of the many layers that continue to interest
urbanologists, sociologists, planners, and anthropologists. One such layer
is the African burial ground that was found in lower Manhattan in 1991, and
which has been celebrated by a diverse group of individuals ever since.
Visitors will want to start by looking at the "Rites of Ancestral Return"
section. Here they may elect to view video clips from past celebrations and
view an interactive map that highlights the various ways in which the
colonial African experience has been relived and commemorated along the
Eastern seaboard. The other section on the site is also quite engaging, as
it allows visitors to explore the African burial ground through educational
features about the artifacts and graves found within the context of the
bustling city which had grown up around the site through the ensuing
centuries. [516]

Society in Madison, Wisconsin, and visitors with an interest in digital
projects and their creation and management will want to review the section
that details how the website was built. Visitors with a limited amount of
time will want to peruse the highlights section, which offers a number of
noteworthy historical accounts, including the first encounter of Europeans
with the Grand Canyon and the arrival of Captain James Cook in Hawaii. The
resource section for educators is well-developed and includes suggestions on
integrating documents into lesson plans, information on interpreting
documents, and addressing sensitive content. As might be expected, the

The power of television in determining the successful candidate for
president of the United States over the past fifty years has been immense --
and something that every candidate is aware of, for better or for worse.
This engaging online exhibit from the American Museum of the Moving
Candidate offers television commercials for each presidential candidate from
the years 1952 to 2000, along with an analysis of each major party, their
advertising campaigns, and a map showing the results of each election. There
are some real gems here including the advertisements from the fractious
campaign of 1968, the powerful uses of various shock issues in the campaign
of 1988, and Harry Belafonte speaking on behalf of John F. Kennedy in 1960.
The site is rounded out by a selection of helpful educational materials,
including a teacher's guide and a complete program guide to the presidential
campaign television advertisements. [495]

documentary production units in the field. Based at Minnesota Public Radio
in St. Paul, Minnesota, Radio Works' primary themes include public affairs
documentaries on major social and economic issues, investigative reporting,
and the Living History series, which seeks to document the 20th century
American experience "through the lives of those who witnessed it." The web-
browsing public will be glad to know that all of the radio projects are
available online here, and can be listened to in their entirety. Visitors
can listen to close to 40 of their productions, including their most recent
production which deals with the extensive phone conversations recorded by
Presidents Johnson, Kennedy, and Nixon during their terms in the White House

in the Buddha chapter is the life of the Buddha; Explore under Hinduism
features trading card-sized images of 16 Hindu gods and short descriptions;
and the Geography Challenge is to plan a pilgrimage to see holy sites of the
Buddha's life, traveling on foot. Other fun sections include the Writing
section challenge, where students decipher ancient Indian writing, and the

Ancient Manuscripts from the Desert Libraries of Timbuktu

Founded 900 years ago, the city of Timbuktu (located in what is now the
country of Mali) was a center of major commercial importance and a place
where many Islamic scholars received their education. This exhibit,
developed by the Library of Congress (with the use of manuscripts from the
Mamma Haidara Commemorative Library and the Library of Cheick Zayni Baye of
Boujbeha) explores some of the many important literary traditions and
scholarship developed during this period of scholarly effervescence. Here
visitors can browse over 30 primary documents, including texts designed to
train scholars in the field of astronomy and the nature of Islamic
mysticism. The exhibit is rounded out by several maps, such as a map from
1743 that shows the region in and around Timbuktu. [439]

Divine World, Death and Burial, Writing, Seals and Sealing, Clothing and
Personal Adornment. The Masterpieces section is almost a checklist of
featured items, showing images that reappear in other sections, such as the
Standard of Ur, appearing in Masterpieces and The Ruler. The Cities section
includes both architectural artifacts and views of the ancient cities of
Troy, Uruk, Nippur, Ur, Mohenjo-daro, for example, a cone mosaic fragment
from Uruk, accompanied by a photographic reconstruction showing columns with
cone mosaic applied; or a nineteenth-century engraving showing Troy. Over

Phase I, which can presently be found on this site, concerns the period from 1841-1902, representing half of the Eagle's years of publication. This period includes all of the years for which there is no index as well as the eleven years during which an index was published.

Drawing the Western Frontier: The james E. Taylor Album
|
Of the many photographic albums in the National Anthropological Archives, perhaps the most interesting and historically important is a scrapbook kept by an American illustrator, James E. Taylor (1839-1901). A professional artist, Taylor?s newspaper illustrations served to popularize stereotypes of the Western frontier during the post-Civil War years. Like other illustrators and writers of the period, he depicted Indian-White relations in terms of savagery versus civilization and encouraged Americans to visualize the nation?s Westward expansion in heroic terms. In many ways, Taylor?s professional legacy as a "reporter" is lodged between the technological juncture that existed between newspaper publishing and photography in the 19th century. [405]

Federal Bureau of Investigation - Uniform Crime Reports - 2003
|
Every year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) produces its annual
complete crime report for the United States, and the report for 2003 was
recently made available in a variety of formats on the agency's website.
While the report is a bit overwhelming (it is 516 pages in length), novice
users may want to start by looking at page v, which explains how to read and
understand the numbers contained within the report. Section II contains
details on all offenses reported, including violent crime, property crime,
and hate crime. In brief, the report reveals that violent crime in the
United States dropped three percent last year, and that 62 percent of last
year's murders have been solved to date. It is also worth noting that during
the past 10 years, total violent crime in the U.S. has dropped 25 percent.
A number of separate tables are available in the Excel format, including
"Murder Victims by Age, by Weapon" and "Arrests by State". [519]

related to the area's history and development, the American Memory Project
at the Library of Congress developed this fine online collection. The entire
online collection consists of 16 maps, ranging from a 1655 Dutch map of the
coastline around Macau to a 1991 map that shows the three areas that
constitute the Territory of Macau produced by the Portuguese cartographic
service. One gem in the collection is the map depicting Macau that was taken
from the British Buccaneer Atlas of 1696 that was prepared and used by the
infamous pirate Bartholomew Sharpe. Uses Mr Sid [425]

Medieval Writing
|
Developed and maintained by Dr. Dianne Tillotson, this site is a good
location to begin learning about handwriting and manuscript production in
the Middle Ages. Needless to say, the art and science of deciphering these
manuscripts is terribly time-consuming and complicated. The site is divided
into approximately thirteen sections, and first-time visitors would do well
to read the "What is paleography?" essay first, in order to learn about this
elaborate decoding process. The other sections of the site describe (through
words, illustrations, and photographs) the life of a scribe during the
Middle Ages, the tools utilized to produce the manuscripts, and the various
forms that manuscripts took during this historical era. One rather
delightful aspect of the site are the paleography exercises where visitors
can try their hand at deciphering various passages from medieval
manuscripts, including Dante's Inferno and the Book of Hours. [Flash] [435]

This category contains maps showing campaigns of major military conflicts including troop movements, defensive structures and groundworks, roads to and from sites of military engagements, campsites, and local buildings, topography and vegetation. Some of the maps are manuscripts drawn on the field of battle, while others are engraved including some that have manuscript annotations reflecting the history of the battle or campaign. A significant number of battle maps provide information about the locality that is not available elsewhere such as the location of plantations, the names of landowners in the area, the configuration of small towns and villages, and indications of prior settlement by native Americans.

Moving Here: 200 Years of Migration to England
|
Though it can truly be said that during the nineteenth and most of the
twentieth centuries that "the sun never set on the British Empire," the
story of those who came to Britain from various far-flung corners of the
Commonwealth is sometimes overlooked. This lovely archive of documents,
images, and first-hand narratives celebrates and explores why people came to Britain, along with looking at the current experiences of these various
groups today. Gathered from over 30 local, national, and regional museums and libraries around Britain, the site primarily looks at the Caribbean, Irish, Jewish and South Asian communities.

Napoleonic Caricatures: A Brown University Digital Collection

With the rise of mass printing techniques through the 18th century, many
public figures began to be parodied and satirized through caricatures
created by the many artists that worked for newspapers, broadsheets, and
other types of publications. One such figure was Napoleon, and this
collection of 271 caricatures includes a number of renderings of both him
and his contemporaries. The satires are housed in the Anne S.K. Brown
Military collection of the John Hay Library at Brown, and have been recently
placed online in order to make them more accessible to the public. [454]

While ancient Egyptian civilization has captured the public interest and
imagination in recent decades, this well-designed site from the National

millennia ago. In the site's most compelling feature, titled Explore the
Pyramids, visitors can scroll across the different pyramids, revealing their interior organization and a number of facts about their construction and so on. A brief timeline also gives some information about each of the different Egyptian dynasties. Educators will find much to enjoy here, as the site provides different lesson plans for students, complete with critical questions for discussion and lesson objectives. Finally, there is an online journal written by National Geographic reporter Nancy Gupton that documents her own personal experiences traveling around the pyramids of Egypt. [341]

Picturing Modern America
|
It is difficult at times for young people (and people in general) to
understand the past, even the more recent past of the past century or so. It
seems almost banal to observe that many aspects of life have changed
dramatically, and perhaps not so banal to note that many things have in fact
not changed as much as we think. This fine site contains a number of
interactive exercises (drawing on the vast collections of the American
Memory Project at the Library of Congress) that will help deepen students'
understanding of common topics in the study of modern America from 1880 to
1920 and to build their skills in analyzing primary sources. Teachers and
student alike will appreciate the "Investigations" area, which contains
exercises such as "Picturing Social Change", "Modern Women", and "Picturing
Prairie Life". Through the exercises, visitors will be asked a variety of
questions that draw on the visual materials contained within each thematic
section, such as "What brought people to the prairie?" or "Why might people
have left the prairie?". Visitors also have the opportunity to build their
own exhibits by choosing their own theme or question about modern America,
and through choosing their own images and documents for their exhibit. [515]

Rutgers Oral History Archives of WWII
|
The fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War has sparked a growing realization among both scholars and the public alike that a generation is in danger of disappearing from historical memory. Americans who came of age during the Great Depression and then went on to confront the twin threats of German fascism and Japanese militarism are now in their seventies and eighties. If we do not act immediately and record their oral memoirs and stories, we will forever prevent their experiences from becoming part of the historical record of this vital era. [315]

The basic question of interest is: How to understand today's society? For example, why are some countries modernized while others are not? What is globalization and how is it happening (or is it happening)? How far will democratization spread and in what forms. [550]

The Forum at Pompeii
|
This is a web site that I use to demonstrate six years ago as an example of the types of applications that will be feasable years from then. It is now!
You are presented with an areal drawing of the ruins of Pompeii. You click on the section of the city you want to visit and receive a close-up drawing. In the drawing are icons for cameras, each point in a specific direction. When you click on one of the cameras, you receive a photograph taken in the direction indicated by the camera. Very cool, and forward thinking of these folks. [244]

In Your Classroom:

Obviously, this tool could be used for presentation by history teachers. However, as a writing project, you might ask students to take a virtual walking tour of ancient Pompeii, retrieving the pictures and describing what they see and their impressions.

The Gutenberg Bible at the Ransom Center
|
Widely understood to be one of the single most important inventions in human
history, the development of movable type by Johann Gutenberg in the 15th
century made it possible to produce a large number of copies of a single
work in a relatively short period of time. Utilizing their own copy (one of
48 remaining around the world) of Gutenberg's Bible, the Harry Ransom
Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas at Austin has created
this informative site about both this amazing book and the printing process
used to create this work. [414]

Most visitors will want to start by viewing
selected passages from this remarkable book available here, among them
excerpts from Genesis and the 23rd Psalm. One particularly engaging feature

The purpose of the Open Video Project is to collect and make available a repository of digitized video content for the digital video, multimedia retrieval, digital library, and other research communities. Researchers can use the video to study a wide range of problems, such as tests of algorithms for automatic segmentation, summarization, and creation of surrogates that describe video content; the development of face recognition algorithms; or creating and evaluating interfaces that display result sets from multimedia queries. Because researchers attempting to solve similar problems will have access to the same video content, the repository is also intended to be used as a test collection that will enable systems to be compared, similar to the way the TREC conferences are used for text retrieval.

The Stars and Stripes: The American Soldiers' Newspaper of World War I,
1918-1919
|
The Stars and Stripes was a newspaper written by troops (and for the troops)
serving in the American Expeditionary Force of the United States Army during
the United States' involvement in World War I. The newspaper's existence
was endorsed by official order of General John J. Pershing, who wanted the
publication to strengthen the moral of the troops and to promote unity
within the American forces. The paper ran from February 1918 to June 1919,
and by the time it ceased publication, it had a readership of over 500,000.
As part of the American Memory series of online collections, the Library of
Congress has created this Web site containing a complete digitized and
searchable run of the Stars and Stripes for the general Web-browsing public.
Users may elect to browse the issues by date, or to search the entire
collection of papers. Additionally, the site features an in-depth look at
the paper, including a detailed discussion of the noted editorial staff that

William Gedney Photographs and Writings
|
From the mid 1950s through the early 1980s, William Gedney (1932-1989) photographed throughout the United States, in India, and in Europe. From the commerce of the street outside his Brooklyn apartment to the daily chores of unemployed coal miners, from the indolent lifestyle of hippies in Haight-Ashbury to the sacred rituals of Hindu worshippers, Gedney was able to record the lives of others with remarkable clarity and poignancy. These photographs, along with his notebooks and writings, illuminate the rare vision of an intensely private man who, as a writer and photographer, was able to reveal the lives of others with striking sensitivity. Included here are selections from Gedney's finished prints, work prints, contact sheets, notes, notebooks, handmade photographic books, book dummies, and correspondence.

what people want out of life." The survey shows that the basic direction of
these changes is, to some extent, predictable. Following from this
intriguing (and perhaps contestable) thesis, the website provides access to
a number of the publications that have been generated from the group's
scholarship, along with information about ordering various monographs and
other publications. Visitors can also view the various questionnaires used
to sample the different population groups, and read news updates about their
work. As mentioned, the site also allows visitors to download some of the
most recent work done by the scholars at the World Values Survey, including
papers dealing with democratic aspirations and ideals in East Asia and
postmaterialism. [464]
