"Spinning the Web brings together for the first time a unique collection of some 20,000 items from the libraries, museums and archives of North West England which tell the story of the Lancashire Cotton Industry. Spinning the Web invites users to search the collection (see Help to find out how) or to explore these extraordinary times through a series of themes:
Overview - an account of the period between 1760 to the
present day
Places - the impact of cotton on villages, towns and cities
People - living and working in the mills
Industry - how cotton was made and sold
Clothing & products - uses of cotton
For learners there are a series of Learning Journeys - find out more about Local History Studies in Places, Children in Victorian Times in People or Industrialisation in Industry.
Also you can Send a postcard from our Leisure section.
Spinning the Web is funded by the New Opportunities Fund and developed by Manchester Library and Information Service in partnership with local museums, libraries and archives. It is one of four textile related projects - see the Consortium Web Page for details. "
"This teaching resource includes digitized selections from the Cameron Family Papers extracted from the Southern Historical Collection at UNC-Chapel Hill. The resource is designed for non-commercial use by educators and students interested in themes associated with antebellum plantation life. The original Cameron Family Papers (1757-1978) include some 35,000 undigitized items available for public perusal in the university's Wilson Library. This web resource presents only a small fraction of the total available documents, as identified and digitized by the site designers to best represent themes associated with traditionally underrepresented persons on antebellum plantations, namely slaves, women, and children. The Camerons regularly communicated by post with their family, friends, and business associates (overseers, tradespersons, and merchants). The level of detail provided in their personal communication provides a rich context for the study of antebellum plantation life in the southern United States.
Site users may either search for letters related to a particular theme, or browse available letters using the index of letters page. All letters have been tagged by subject/theme. Letters are available in Macromedia Flashpaper format (.swf). Users may choose to view the original source letter, a typed transcription of the original text (easier to read), or both. The transcription is recommended to teachers and students with limited time, given the difficulty in deciphering original text. "
"Welcome to Civil War Animated

Population density
Population density is the number of people in a given area (usually given as persons per sq. km.). To find this figure the total population is divided by the area.
Density can be shown on a choropleth map which shows the average density across regions. This is easy to read but disguises major population concentrations.
The Frozen Price Game
Students are told that a hurricane has caused a major power outage, increasing the demand and decreasing the supply of ice. They then use two different methods to allocate ice: first-come, first-served and price. This game is a good way to demonstrate the advantages of price allocation. Click here to download rules and materials. Also see the Debate Topics page for a new debate over whether gasoline price-gougers should be punished.
