    Name: Teaching Politics: Techniques and Technologies
    URL: http://teachpol.tcnj.edu/

    Teaching Resource: Archive

    Brief Description: At this site visitors will find a collection of
    resource materials for the teaching and learning about politics in
    higher education settings.

    Review: Teaching Politics makes available highly specialized academic
    content about the teaching of politics. All navigation of the site is
    done through a drop down menu located on the top right of each web
    page. There is a searchable index for the entire site, and individual
    sections of the site can be searched from their own pages. The site's
    resources are arranged in the following sections: Images, Conference
    Papers, Book Reviews, Virtual Conference, The Guide to Teaching,
    Multimedia Resources, H-Teachpol Discussion List, and The Web Crawler.
    The Images section contains over 500 public domain images of American
    Political History. The conference papers cover a variety of topics and
    are published in Adobe PDF format. The books reviewed address politics
    from a teaching perspective. The Virtual Conference, originally held
    online in 1999, is comprised of 20 papers (HTML format) and video
    presentations.

    The Guide to Teaching contains advice on teaching topics such as grading
    policies, writing assignments, and using technology in the classroom.
    The Multimedia Resources section consists of papers, video, newsletters
    from the American Political Science Association's Conference Group on
    Politics and Film, illustrated descriptions and video tours of a variety
    of multimedia classrooms used to teach politics, and a selective,
    annotated list of online resources for teaching political science,
    particularly U. S. politics, which includes sites entitled Archiving
    Early America, FDR Cartoon Archive, and Rare Map Collection at the
    Hargrett Library. There is also information concerning the H-Teachpol
    discussion list and a link to access it. And, finally, The Web Crawler
    provides a searchable index of websites such as political science
    department websites and online political science syllabi. The quality
    of the content on this site is excellent.

    The site is easily navigated, though I experienced difficulty accessing
    information from The Web Crawler ("Page Not Found" error messages were
    repeatedly encountered during the review session). Also, one must keep
    in mind that a fast Internet connection (T1, ISDN, cable) is highly
    desirable for the viewing of the video presentations; video and audio
    quality was choppy and erratic while using a dial-up connection (56K).

    Suggestion for Use: Teaching Politics is a fine resource best suited
    for post-secondary teachers of political science, especially those just
    getting started.

    Addendum: This site requires a JavaScript compatible browser (for the
    navigation menu), one that interprets tables and forms. Some content
    is in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) or Real Networks
    RealAudio/RealVideo format. These plug-ins are required to view this
    content.

    Name: Women at War
    URL: http://www.redstone.army.mil/history/women/welcome.html

    Resource Type: Hypertext

    Brief Description: Women at War is an essay about women's roles in two
    chemical warfare plants during World War II.

    Review: This is an online version of an essay written by Dr. Kaylene
    Hughes that was presented in 1992 to the Conference of Army
    Historians.

    As part of Redstone Arsenal's Historical Information Pages
    (http://www.redstone.army.mil/history), this essay discusses the
    history of women who worked at Redstone Arsenal and at nearby
    Huntsville Arsenal in Alabama in the early 1940s; both plants were
    involved in creating chemical weapons for use in the war. Training,
    employment, relationships with male bosses and fellow employees, and
    life in the arsenal are all placed within the larger context of women at
    war in the United States.

    The title of this site is obviously misleading, since what we get is
    actually a small (albeit important) chunk of WWII history. There are
    some invaluable thumbnailed photos on the page (with links to larger,
    more detailed photos), a 7-minute movie based on the text (which can
    be downloaded using either RealPlayer or Windows Media Player), and lots
    of links to other areas of Redstone Arsenal's Pages (especially cool are
    the photo archive and oral histories). But it seems that this essay
    might have been ultimately more effective as a hypertext document with
    links to other sites on the web.

    Suggestions for Use: An interesting article that would prove great
    for further study about women in war, American life on the home front
    during WWII, or military history.

    Addendum: The short movie requires a quick web server. When I
    clicked on the Windows Media Player link, all I got was a page full of
    computer gobbledygook. The rest of the site claims that it's still trying to
    iron out some bugs--maybe this is one of them?

    Name: WPA Life Histories Collection

    URL: http://eagle.vsla.edu/wpa

    Resource Type: Archive

    Brief Description: Produced by the Library of Virginia, the Collection
    consists of interviews and surveys conducted by the Virginia Writers'
    Project during the Depression. There are 1,350 life histories and
    social-ethnic studies, 50 interviews with former slaves, and a small
    number of folklore studies.

    Review: One of many digital projects of the Library of Virginia, the
    WPA Life Histories Collection provides access to interviews undertaken
    between 1936 to 1942 by the Virginia Writers' Project, a part of the
    Federal Writers' Project of the Work Projects Administration (WPA).
    The original aim of the Virginia Writers' Project was to gather information
    about various occupational groups in urban and rural environments and
    chronicle individual experiences during the Depression. The life
    histories, which range from four to fifteen typed pages, were
    transcribed from interviews by field workers, and some underwent an
    editing process by the Project. Many of the interviews capture
    recollections from the late nineteenth through the early twentieth
    century and document family life, health conditions, employment and
    educational opportunities (or the lack of such), gender roles,
    religious beliefs and practices, and personal and communal socio-economic
    conditions. In total, the life histories provide a "snapshot of the
    lives of ordinary people" in a largely rural environment.

    The WPA Life Histories Collection project provides access to the
    digitized texts of approximately 1,400 Virginia life histories. In
    addition, researchers can search the Collection by keyword or phrase
    and can conduct precise boolean and combination searches. Each
    indexing/catalog record contains the name of the interviewee and the
    interviewer, title of the life history, date of the interview, notes
    describing the major subjects discussed in the life history, a summary
    of the interview, excellent subject indexing, and a link to the
    digitized document. All elements of the indexing record are keyword
    searchable. Some sample searches yielded the following results:
    "sharecroppers," 26 histories; "slave," 57 histories; "tobacco," 21
    histories; "illness and agriculture," 11 histories; "alcohol," 17
    histories; "college education," 43 histories; "cancer," 4 histories;
    "marriage," 97 histories.

    Accessing the digital versions of the typed histories is rather
    cumbersome and not instinctive; thus, use of this collection will
    largely be limited to researchers and graduate students. Use by
    undergraduates would require instruction. Images must be reformatted
    (using Adobe Acrobat) by zooming to make them smaller for appearance
    on the screen, and these original documents are often difficult to read.
    Each page of a history must be individually retrieved.

    Suggestion for Use: Researchers investigating social and economic
    conditions during the Depression can access materials previously
    available only in a few Virginia libraries; advanced college students
    can experience use of "primary" source materials in historical
    research. The Collection is especially valuable for research on
    gender issues during the late nineteenth and early third of the twentieth
    century.

    Name: The Pre-Columbian Graphic Arts Website (PGAWS)

    URL: http://members.aol.com/hasawchan/precolart.html
    The URL for the main directory is
    http://members.aol.com/hasawachan/directory.html.

    Resource Type: Archive/ Exhibit

    Brief Description: This site is devoted to Pre-Columbian art and
    architecture, particularly the areas of Central America. Included are
    extensive archived photographs, animated graphics, interactive maps, a
    timeline, drawings, and informational text related to Mesoamerican
    sites in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.

    Review: This website is developed as an extensive introduction to
    Pre-Columbian art and architecture for the regions of Mexico,
    Honduras, and Guatemala. As such it provides an excellent initial point for a
    variety of research interests pertaining to this region, including
    travel, history, archaeology, and geography. Currently, the website
    is primarily devoted to the presentation of Classic Mayan arts, crafts,
    and architecture (AD 250-900) with somewhat lesser emphasis on other
    Mesoamerican tribes such as the Aztec and Olmec. It is subdivided
    into four parts that open as separate internal webpages. This feature can
    lead to some pages or images loading slowly but does not seem to be a
    great burden to navigation.

    Part I is devoted to the commercial and technical pages of PGAWS,
    which include an array of other Mesoamerican website links and online
    consumer catalogs.

    Part II focuses exclusively on the broader issue of chronology and
    lifeways in Mesoamerica and presents a timeline and clickable maps.
    Part III is similar but takes a more pointed look into the world of
    the Classic Maya, their art and architecture. Images and text related to
    a number of significant archaeological sites such as Usumacinta, Piedras
    Negras, Yaxchilan, Bonampak, El Cayo, and El Chicozapote are
    represented. Additional unique features of this area include animated
    sequences on "How to Build a Maya Pyramid" and the "Maya Astronomical
    Calendar." Finally, Part IV presents images and text related to key
    regional museums in Mexico.

    This is an excellent and well-organized web resource and is quite
    navigable, even between the internal websites. The only significant
    problem was that on occasion there would be four or five internal
    webpages open at once. Each webpage can be closed and there is a main
    directory that can be used as a point of navigation between the
    internal websites.

    Suggestions for Use: This interesting web resource would be especially
    useful for initial research pertinent to Mesoamerican prehistory,
    traditional architecture, arts, and crafts. It also presents itself
    as an excellent resource for those seeking to develop an appreciation for
    traditional forms of art and expression. In addition, this site would
    be an excellent resource for those preparing for or considering a trip
    to any of these areas.

    Name: The Comics Journal

    URL: http://www.tcj.com/front.html

    Resource Type: Webzine

    Brief Description: This site is the online home of The Comic Journal,
    the "arts-first" magazine about the comics medium. Unlike comic
    "fanzines," the Journal treats comics as an art form worthy of serious
    critical consideration.
    Review: As the site says, "Comics are the great hidden cultural
    treasure of the 20th century, and The Comics Journal is dedicated to
    taking them seriously -- from monitoring their industries to serious
    criticism of the best works -- in the hope that the medium will
    continue to grow and secure for itself the widest possible consideration
    of its best works." To this end, TCJ prides themselves on their attention
    to and coverage of comics from the family-oriented Peanuts and Calvin
    and Hobbes strips, to the superhero comics of Jack Kirby, to the great
    American underground and/or neglected comics like Yummy Fur and
    Love and Rockets.

    The site is split roughly in two: we get information from the print
    version of TCJ as well as from TCJ Online. In the former, you'll find
    information about the latest issue, details on subscribing and
    ordering back issues, advertising, and writers' guidelines. And in an
    impressive online archive, you'll find intelligent and accessible samples of
    interviews with comic art luminaries like Art Spiegelman (creator of
    Maus) and Terry Gilliam (director of Brazil); editorials from past
    issues of TCJ; and reviews of comics from Artbabe to Zippy the
    Pinhead.
    (Warning! Some pages have a broken link to something called "ABCs of
    Alternative Comics"; considering the trove of information on the
    site's other pages, this broken link is an unfortunate loss.)

    TCJ Online features "Newsflash Newswatch" to keep you updated on the
    latest in the comics industry; an online editorial page; a short
    interview with a younger comics art creator; and other "lists,
    resources and bizarre miscellany" to keep your online jones satisfied. There
    are also sections called "Raging Bullpen," with smart and entertaining
    columns that'll keep you reading and laughing; "Thrown to the Wolves,"
    a forum where comics creators can send their work to TCJ to be reviewed;
    and "Trimmings," with lots of online exclusive extras from prior TCJ
    interviews. This site also features a well-traveled and
    well-organized message board.

    With all the serious attention to the medium, though, why not more art
    itself? The snippets that garnish the banners and interviews and
    editorials kept me drooling for more and better quality samples from
    the artists. But this seems like a minor quibble considering the rest of
    the goodies on display.

    Suggestions for Use: This is an extremely easy-to-use and beautifully
    simple site that'll appeal to comics geeks and novices alike. Also
    cool for those interested in American Studies, Art History, and Popular
    Culture.

    Name: MZTV: Museum of Television
    (The site is also available in French: MZTV: Musee de la Television)

    URL: http://www.chumcity.com/mztv/

    Resource Type: Exhibit

    Brief Description: Mirroring the actual Museum of Television in Toronto
    and a television show based on the museum, this site provides viewers with
    an interesting history of the shows, people, and mechanical products of
    early television.

    Review: Visitors to this site are first invited to view the site in
    English or French, both of which have the same information, pictures,
    and articles. Once entering the site, you can chose from several
    different areas. The "Virtual Gallery" takes you on a fascinating
    exploration of three different topics, each its own exhibit: "The
    Predictas" (a history of early Philco televisions with excellent
    photos of original models), "The Mechanical TV Era" (the story of
    television's predecessors, also with interesting photos), and "The 1939 Worlds
    Fair" (an exploration of where TV first debuted). This section provides
    detailed historical entries peppered with photos, many of which are
    rare.

    The second main area of the site is "MZTV Museum," which discusses the
    background of the project, including its mission: "to secure the
    technological history of the TV receiver, and to contribute to the
    understanding of the impact of television by collecting, displaying,
    documenting, and interpreting television sets and related ephemera."
    The next main section, "Expositions," allows visitors to read the essay
    "Watching TV: Historic Television and Memorabilia from the MZTV
    Museum" and see accompanying images. A fourth section provides
    feedback people have sent in to the Museum: this section is titled
    "The MZTV Oral History Project." There is also a "Video Archive"
    that provides the unique opportunity to re-live history by seeing the
    actual clips of historical events, such as JFK's assassination news
    coverage. Finally, the "Why This Collection?" section provides visitors
    with the story of Chairman and Executive Producer Moses Znaimer
    and why he founded the museum. Overall, this site is comprehensive,
    interesting, and enlightening.

    Note: The video clips are somewhat slow to download, so be prepared.

    Suggestion for Use: This site would be useful to anyone in college or
    Graduate School who is interested to see the roots of modern
    television.

    Name: Image Archive on the American Eugenics Movement

    URL: http://vector.cshl.org/eugenics

    Resource Type: Archive/ Exhibit

    Brief Description: Genetics research leader Cold Spring Harbor
    Laboratory's site on the American Eugenics Movement, 1910-1940,
    represents the history of science at its most germane. More than a
    barearchive, this site's collection is enhanced by its fine articles about
    this under-explored period in American history. Combining an image
    archive and simple, readable text is a powerful use of the Internet,
    creating a virtual museum instantly accessible to everyone at no cost.

    Review: While the image archive is certainly extensive and useful, the
    most impressive aspect of this site is its illustrated description of
    the American Eugenics Movement. Holding court most prominently in
    the chaotic period between 1910 and 1940, eugenicists attempted to provide
    explanations for the threatening changes and increasing poverty they
    saw nvading the American landscape. Thus, the description begins with
    the "economic, social, and political context in which [the movement]
    flourished" and the scientific milieu in which practitioners were
    operating. Garland E. Allen's essay, "The Social Origins of Eugenics,"
    sets up a vivid and comprehensive context for the site's material, a
    context that Steve Selden and Paul Lombardo make even more evident as
    they map it directly onto the events and ideas that make up the eugenics
    movement. And since eugenics was a way of thought deeply dependent
    on visual "evidence," the text is supported by numerous startling and
    informative images. Fortunately, the creators have succeeded in
    presenting these images without reproducing exploitive displays of
    genetic abnormalities.

    In an attempt to be precise and complete, this website is a bit
    text-heavy and requires a lot of time to peruse relative to other
    resources on the Internet. Yet, this effort pays off in an
    authoritative and useful resource for students and connoisseurs of
    American History. For example, David Mieklos and Jan Witkowski of
    Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory do an excellent job of linking American
    scientists like Charles Davenport with the research of the famous
    European Gregor Mendel, revealing the scientific and historic way in
    which eugenicists attempted to justify their conclusions.

    It is well known that theories of race science have abounded in the
    world, especially in the early twentieth century. What is less well
    known and under-appreciated is how completely the formally egalitarian
    United States involved itself in this destructive movement. The Image
    Archive of the American Eugenics Movement makes this recondite truth
    an unavoidable chapter in American history. With a good connection and
    an updated web browser, this site can be easily viewed and navigated.

    Suggestion for Use: This site is good for an introduction into the
    American Eugenics Movement for secondary and tertiary level history
    classes, American and European, and very useful for authors looking
    for images to support written material.

    Addendum: Requires the plugin Flashplayer, available on the site.

    Resource Type: Interactive Tool

    Brief Description: The Project HAL site allows users to submit data on
    lynching incidents via an automated electronic form. There is very
    little pedagogical content on this page.

    Review: Administered by Elizabeth Hines, Ph.D. (a geographer and
    Earth Science Professor at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington) and
    Eliza Steelwater, Ph.D. (an independent scholar from Bloomington,
    Indiana), the Project HAL website is an attempt to create a lynching
    database "analogous to the comprehensive list of legal executions
    compiled by M. Watt Espy of the Capital Punishment Research Project."
    The site contains a pair of images related to lynching, a brief
    statement of purpose and scope, a definition of lynching, a list of
    goals for the project, and addresses where documents recording
    lynchings can be sent; however, most of the site is devoted to the automated
    electronic form that allows users to submit information regarding
    lynching incidents. The requested information includes the names,
    ages, genders, and races/ethnicities/nationalities of the victims; the
    location, date, and duration of the incident; the size, gender ratio,
    and race/ethnicity of the mob that committed the lynching; a narrative
    of the lynching; the information source; and contributor information.
    Once the form has been submitted, the project administers verifies the
    information and adds it to the database. Unfortunately, the site does
    not specify where or when this information will be made available.

    This site does not offer anything to beginning students seeking
    information on lynching in America. However, it does enable scholars
    and advanced students to participate in a tremendously important
    historical project.

    Suggestion for Use: An ambitious professor of a graduate or senior
    level American history seminar could ask his/her students to research
    lynching incidents and submit forms to Project HAL.

    Name: Historic Pittsburgh

    URL: http://digital.library.pitt.edu/pittsburgh/mainpage.html

    Resource Type: Archive

    Brief Description: This site serves as a digital, primary resource
    collection of numerous 19th and early 20th century documents (texts,
    illustrations, and maps) related to Pittsburgh and the surrounding
    Western Pennsylvania area.

    Review: A collaboration of the University of Pittsburgh and the
    Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania, Historic Pittsburgh
    provides access to documents detailing various aspects of the city,
    from local government and city planning records to social directories
    and private letters. The site contains numerous search formats to
    sort through its material, promising over 500 textual items and 700
    maps once complete, and researchers will eventually be able to search
    the maps collection for street names and landmarks. A brief survey of
    its books, reports, and personal correspondences reveals a diversity of
    subject matter, such as local accounts of U.S. Civil War involvement
    and Socialist Party publications, which chronicles the development of
    Pittsburgh through the American Industrial Age.

    The online map collection, from the G. M. Hopkins Company, covers the
    city from 1872 to 1939 and has both scalable resolution and image size.

    America in general) will principally find this site of interest,
    especially with documents not easily accessible otherwise.

    Name: Tending the Commons: Folklife and Landscape in Southern West
    Virginia

    URL: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/cmnshtml/cmnshome.html

    Resource Type: Indexed Exhibit/ Search Engine

    Brief Description: This site provides articles, photos, maps, diagrams,
    and interviews exploring the intersection of local history and local
    ecology in the coal river region of southern West Virginia.

    Review: "Tending the Commons" refers to both the land worked
    communally to provide subsistence for people living in this economically
    depressed area of West Virginia's coal region and the people themselves,
    whose rich oral history constitutes a wealth of information on the demise
    of the forests in this area. Because so many of the region's inhabitants
    have found the need to supplement their earnings from the coal economy
    with a "seasonal round" of hunting and gathering, they have developed a
    vast knowledge of the local forests, which are considered some the richest
    hardwood temperate forests in existence. Their stories chronicle the loss
    of important species of trees, plants, and animals in their region and offer
    insight into the complex interdependency of the region. This site, which is
    based on the American Folklife Center's Coal River Folklife Project
    (completed in 1999), conveys their experience through interviews,
    articles, and images.

    Interviews are accessible through audio files, and the inhabitants'
    way of life has been preserved in an archive of over a thousand
    photographs. An overview of this information is provided by articles,
    such as "Seasonal Round of Activities on Coal River" and "Ramp
    Suppers, Biodiversity, and the Integrity of 'The Mountains,'" reprinted from
    Folklife Center News. The search engine works with both keyword and
    subject searches, and the indexed photo and audio archives are easily
    navigable. Anyone seeking information on West Virginia or Appalachian
    ecology and culture would do well to explore this site.

    Suggestion for Use: Any scholar of Appalachia, particularly one
    interested in the intersection of community and landscape, will find
    this site informative.

    Addendum: The audio files are accessible using RealAudio, MPG or .wav.
