About this title

From Booklist:

This is a useful collection of more than 1,000 Internet sites devoted to American and world history, grouped by familiar historical categories. History buffs are sure to find their favorite era or region represented, and reference librarians might answer some tricky questions using the resources found here. The authors provide two or three sentences of description for each site (mostly on the World Wide Web, but also gophers, discussion groups, electronic journals, and online catalogs). Online maps and electronic texts are listed separately, as are museums, archives, and resources for history teachers. Some personal favorites: "Joan's Witch Directory," containing information on European witchcraft trials, and "Find-a-Grave," which allows the user to locate the graves of many famous persons. George Eberhart

Review:

Visit over 1,000 history sites on the Internet with the aid of this research title, which provides both researchers and students with list of authoritative historical categories and sites which can expand or lend to a historical research project. Easily access sites for Afro-American history, Russian archives, and early Church documents, to name a few possibilities. -- Midwest Book Review
