Salem Witchcraft Hysteria: A National Geographic Interactive Site
Timothy C. Greenleaf, producer and photographer; Peter Winkler, writer.
Part of the National Geographic Society website, this is an interactive exercise in which the visitor follows a narrative compiled from several Salem witchcraft trial accounts. These trials took place in Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692. The site places visitors in the shoes of one of Salem’s accused witches, describing conditions in the jail, the ordeal of the trial, and the accused’s eventual confession to performing acts of witchcraft. The site also provides links to brief, 100-word biographies of 11 persons involved in the trials, such as young accusers Ann Putnam and Abigail Williams, slave and accused witch Tituba, and Tituba’s master, Reverend Samuel Parris. The narrative leads to a positive outcome—the accused is eventually released from prison—but it offers an optional link to discover what may have happened to a prisoner who refused to confess his or her guilt. The site also contains links to a discussion forum and to an “Ask the Expert” page which allows visitors to pose questions to Richard Trask, Danvers, Massachusetts, archivist and curator of the Rebecca Nurse Homestead. There is also a four-item bibliography of recent works on the Salem trials. This site contains no primary documents, yet it is useful for conveying to younger secondary school students the sense of the panic that surrounded the trials.

Historic Audio Archives
Webcorp.
This site presents audio clips, along with short, opinionated annotations that users should mostly ignore. There is little thematic consistency to the selections, that offer, most prominently, speeches, fragments of speeches, and an occasional video clip relating to Richard Nixon, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, and Joseph McCarthy. Other figures presented here include Leon Trotsky, Marilyn Monroe, John F. Kennedy, Adolph Hitler, Neville Chamberlain, and Ross Perot. Teachers of twentieth-century American politics will find several interesting selections here, but the site requires some work to navigate and make useful for the classroom. In all, there are several dozen items.

See JAH web review by Allison L. Sneider.
Reviewed 2002-03-01.
[SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED FOR FULL ACCESS] Created by two history professors at the State University of New York, Binghamton, this site serves as “a resource and a model for teachers of U.S. Women’s History.” It offers projects, comprised of a background essay and relevant primary-source documents, organized around analytical questions such as “How Did African American Women Define Their Citizenship at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893?” and “How Was the Relationship between Workers and Allies Shaped by the Perceived Threat of Socialism in the New York City Shirtwaist Strike, 1909–1910?” All of the projects also furnish related links, images, and bibliographies. The site includes 90 editorial projects, 2,800 documents, and 900 images and continues to grow. A full-text search engine is available as is a Teacher’s Corner with more than 24 lesson plans and assignments. An expanded subscription-based site, developed with Alexander Street Press, includes full access to projects covering 1600 to the present. The Scholar’s Edition offers five volumes of Notable American Women and a major database of publications of state and local commissions on the status of women.
