Black History Museum: A Series of Interactive Internet Exhibits
AFRO-Americ@, The Afro-American Newspaper Company of Baltimore, Inc..
Sponsored by the African American Newspaper Company of Baltimore, this site offers a series of brief interactive exhibits on African American history. Exhibits include: Black troops during World War II; the Scottsboro Boys trial; the Million Man March; Black America in the 1920s and 1930s; Black Panthers; Jackie Robinson; the Tuskeegee Airmen; and Black resistance and slavery in the U.S. With the exception of the exhibit on Black resistance and slavery, which was compiled by a scholar, the exhibits were created by journalists. The exhibits consist of 200–300 word narratives on the topic with links to more specific information on particular aspects of the exhibits. Each exhibit contains about 20 images and some contain quotations or excerpts from narratives or oral histories. The exhibit on slave resistance contains citations for the sources used to compile the narratives. One section, entitled “This is Our War,” deals with African American involvement in World War II and contains primary documents consisting of excerpts from the writings of five African American correspondents sent to the European theater of war for Afro-American, a Baltimore-based weekly magazine. This site is easy to use and is a useful general introduction to a few prominent events, people, and eras in African American history.

Anti-Saloon League, 1893–1933
Beth Weinhardt, Westerville, Ohio Public Library.
This selection of printed material is representative of the public campaigns of the Anti-Saloon League from 1893 to 1933. A six-page history of the League and the Temperance movement and six biographical essays (100 to 600 words) of leaders of the movement provide context. Facsimiles of 89 fliers produced by the League advocate temperance with arguments that include the effect of alcohol on puppies and German Emperor William II’s opinion of drinking. A periodicals section reproduces three covers, three sample articles, and one complete 1912 issue of American Patriot, a temperance magazine, and one cover of American Issue. Other material includes 14 wet and dry maps of the U.S. produced by the League, three temperance anthems, transcriptions of nine anti-alcohol stories, and 12 pro-temperance cartoons. In addition, six entries from the Standard Encyclopedia of the Alcohol Problem, published between 1925 and 1930, offer the Temperance perspective on communion wine, whiskey production, and alcohol use in China. A bibliography lists ten books on the Temperance movement and four biographies of movement leaders. Teachers will find 11 classroom activities relating to social reform. This site will be useful for research on reform movements and cultural history.

Breaking Racial Barriers: African Americans in the Harmon Foundation Collection
National Portrait Gallery.
This site is based on the 1997 exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery featuring 20 portraits from the Harmon Foundation Collection. Real estate developer William E. Harmon (1862–1928) “one of the many white Americans who expressed his interest in the artistic achievements of black Americans during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s,” established the Harmon Foundation in New York City in 1922 intending to “recognize African American achievements, not only in the fine arts but also in business, education, farming, literature, music, race relations, religious service and science.” The portraits included in this exhibit were originally exhibited by the Harmon Foundation in 1944 "with the express goal of reversing racial intolerance, ignorance and bigotry by illustrating the accomplishments of contemporary African Americans. Each portrait is accompanied by a brief biographical sketch of its subject.

Built in America: Historic American Buildings Survey and Historic American Engineering Record
American Memory, Library of Congress and National Parks Service.
See JAH web review by Carl R. Lounsbury.
Reviewed 2007-09-01.
Provides facsimile images of measured drawings, photographs, and written documentation for 35,000 historic sites dating from the 17th to the 20th century. The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), begun in 1933 as a work relief program, became a permanent part of the National Park Service the following year to document “achievements in architecture, engineering, and design in the United States and its territories”. The Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) was established in 1969 to similarly survey engineering works and industrial sites. The collection displays building types and engineering technologies from a farmhouse to a pickle factory, from churches to the Golden Gate Bridge. A special gallery of selected images includes 37 photographs and 18 drawings of 51 structures, one from each state and the District of Columbia. The site is searchable by geographic location, keyword, and a subject index organized by structure type. For each structure, the site provides from one to ten drawings, from one to 30 photographs, and from one to 50 pages of HABS text in facsimile detailing the structure’s history, significance, and current physical condition. Useful for architectural historians or for those studying the development of building styles and strategies.
