Votes for Women: An Online Exhibit
San Marino Network (San Marino Unified School District and Huntington Library).
A collaborative project of the San Marino Network, this site was created as a companion to a 1995–1996 Huntington Library exhibit on the history of the struggle for women’s suffrage. Middle and high school students designed the site, which provides a virtual walk throught the original “Votes for Women” exhibit. It includes a picture gallery with 78 images of exhibit pieces and photographs used in the companion publication to the exhibit. Each image has a roughly 50-word explanatory caption. The site also includes an online version of Votes for Women: A 75th Anniversary Celebration, the publication that accompanied the Huntington exhibit, authored by Ellen Dubois, Professor of History at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Karen Kearns, Curator of Western History at the Huntington Library. The online publication contains about 50 additional images from the exhibit. The student creators of this site also wrote essays and provided further information on the women’s suffrage movement, such as essays on the eras, people, organizations, publications, government, laws, and politics behind the struggle, as well as a timeline from 1820 to 1920. The site has no index, but it is still easy to use and is an excellent resource for secondary sources and images on the women’s movement, made by and for secondary-level students.

Gulf War
Frontline, Public Broadcasting System.
This Frontline site offers a history of the Gulf War from the perspective of those directly involved and includes an extended section on Gulf War Syndrome. “Oral Histories” presents 19 interviews (up to 20 pages each) with eight statesmen, including Colin Powell and Margaret Thatcher, seven military commanders, two Iraqi officials, and two news analysts. “War Stories,” a collection of personal reminiscences (1,500–3,000 words) of five military pilots, are available in text and audio format. Four 15-minute episodes of a BBC radio program about the war are also available as text and audio. An 800-word chronology of events in the war is accompanied by ten maps and 11 pages on weapons, including photographs and essays (500–1,500 words) about each weapon’s capabilities and how it was used in the Gulf War. An appendix provides a bibliography of nine books and nine government reports, as well as 250 words each on press coverage and Iraqi war deaths. A related website on the Gulf War syndrome http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/syndrome/ includes four interviews, 1,500 to 2,500 words each, with soldiers afflicted with the syndrome. Interviews with two doctors and two congressmen and 1,000 words on a possible government cover-up discuss responses. An essay, an interview, and a roundtable discussion, each 3,000 to 4,000 words, address media coverage of the syndrome. This section links to 40 sites about the syndrome and a discussion list with more than 50 entries. The site is weighted towards the American perspective, but will be useful for anyone interested in military history and international policy.
