John Brown and the Valley of the Shadow
Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, University of Virginia.
Using contemporary newspaper accounts, eyewitness testimonies, photographs, maps, drawings, and later texts, this site presents “narrative threads” linking the events leading up to John Brown’s raid in 1859 on the Harper’s Ferry arsenal to “the latent history of life in the two Shenandoah Valley towns of Staunton, Virginia, and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.” Includes 13 issues of newspapers from the towns; five eyewitness accounts ranging from 2,500 to 9,800 words in length; 30 images of the Brown family members and conspirators; approximately 25 additional photos, published drawings, and maps; a brief listing of Brown’s day-to-day movements during the latter half of 1859; and short biographical entries of up to 500 words on each conspirator. This site, parts of which are presently under construction, will be of special interest to teachers who want to use contemporary images and written accounts in their classes on Brown and abolitionism, and for those looking to investigate local history perspectives on events of national importance.

Uniting a Nation: Two Giants of Telecommunications, Alexander Graham Bell and Samuel F. B. Morse
American Memory, Library of Congress.
As of 8/1/2001, the half of this site that is concerned with inventor and artist Samuel F. B. Morse (1791–1872) remains in a preview stage with only six documents, while approximately 4,650 items from a planned total of 4,700 have been added from the papers of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell (1847–1922). The Morse material includes the paper tape of his famous first telegraphic message of 1844; correspondence concerning the invention; a daguerreotype of Morse taken by Mathew Brady; and an 1853 map of telegraph stations in the U.S. and Canada. The Bell material covers 1862 to 1939—with most material from 1865 to 1920—and includes family papers, general correspondence, laboratory notebooks from 1891–93 and 1910, other scientific notebooks, blueprints, journals, articles, lectures, and photographs. Covers a multitude of subjects, including the telephone, deaf education, experiments with sheep and aeronautics, other inventions, the Bell family, friends—including more than 100 letters to and from Helen Keller—and life in Washington, D.C. and Nova Scotia, where Bell had homes. Provides 10 “collection highlights,” including pages from his March 10, 1876, notebook documenting his first success with the telephone. Also offers a 750-word essay on Bell’s career as inventor and scientist; a 600-word essay on “The Telephone and the Multiple Telegraph”; a biographical timeline annotated with links to documents in the collection; seven family trees covering the Bell, Hubbard, Grosvenor, and Fairchild families; a finding aid for the Library of Congress’ complete collection of Bell Papers of more than 145,000 items, annotated with links to online documents; a 19-title bibliography; and a list of 10 sites of related interest. Of value to those studying the history of communications, the lives of inventors and scientists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developments in deaf education.
