It was so nice to tag along on the field trip with all of you last week. As Mary and Kristina told you I am the new project curator from Ohio Historical Society for the Back to History program. I will be leading the primary source activities and attending the field trips and seminars with all of you. Here is my contact information should you have any questions:
Molly Uline-Olmstead, 614.297.2617, muline-olmstead@ohiohistory.org
Library and Archival Exhibitions on the Web is a search engine sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. The website allows you to search online exhibitions by libraries, historical societies, and other museums by topic and keyword. These exhibitions include digital scans of primary sources in addition to secondary interpretive discussion of the materials.
Maine's Historical society has a website very similar to Ohio Memory called the Maine Memory Network. There is a wide variety of materials including documents, photographs, objects, and prints. In addition the site has a few interpreted exhibitions.
Finally, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History has an extensive collection of documents. The site, which is part of the New York Historical society, is organized really well.
Have great holidays and I will see you on January 16th.
