Eva Swidler eswidler@villanova.edu<mailto:eswidler@villanova.edu> I am taking the liberty of forwarding an email that went out to my entire history department, so presumably is on offer to us at H-W-Civ as well. -----Original Message----- From: <warren@sju.edu> Sent 9/15/2009 4:45:20 PM To: hist_all@sju.edu Cc: warren@sju.edu Subject: Web Sites for Western Civ (and Forging) Dear Colleagues, In my work on Forging over the last couple of years, I've come across some amazing web sites, some of which might be quite useful for Western Civ I and II as well. I thought I'd pass some on. Perhaps others would like to share some of theirs? I'll open up a folder on the Blackboard site for forging and we can post them there. 1. Ibiblio www.ibiblio.org<http://www.ibiblio.org> "Home to one of the largest "collections of collections" on the Internet, ibiblio.org is a conservancy of freely available information, including software, music, literature, art, history, science, politics, and cultural studies. FYI: this is where I found a link to the Library of Congress Vatican Museum exhibit, among other things. 2. The Transatlantic Slave Trade Database http://www.slavevoyages.org This is an UNBELIEVABLE collaborative effort, including maps and quantitative data, as well as summaries of regional an global patterns. 3. Guide to Historical Maps on the Web: http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/map_sites/hist_sites.html Self-explanatory 4. Mapping Globalization: http://www.princeton.edu/~mapglobe/HTML/home.html Ditto, though with some weird and interesting visual representations, not just traditional maps. Enjoy, Rich -- Richard Warren Associate Professor, History Department Director, Latin American Studies Saint Joseph's University Philadelphia, PA 19131 610-660-1747 warren@sju.edu
