Back in June of 2007, we began our first collaboration with a civic institution to facilitate giving people a voice in describing the content of a publicly-held photography collection. The key goals of this pilot project are to firstly give you a taste of the hidden treasures in the huge Library of Congress collection, and secondly to how your input of a tag or two can make the collection even richer. You're invited to help describe photographs in the Library of Congress' collection on Flickr, by adding tags or leaving comments.*

The Michigan County Histories and Atlases Digitization Project is comprised of 428 digitized titles (many composed of multiple volumes) published before 1923.

Welcome to the Memory Project Digital Archive - Winnipeg Connections. Thanks to a generous grant from the Winnipeg Foundation, The Dominion Institute interviewed 23 Winnipeg area veterans and digitized a selection of their wartime artifacts and memorabilia. These unique stories will engage Canadians on the importance of never forgetting Winnipeg's proud military heritage.

"I don't know about you, but I'm a history buff. And I'm particularly fascinated by WWII. Unfortunately we're losing our WW II vets at an alarming rate now and we're missing out some of the most fascinating history there is - the personal stories of those who were a part of that great effort. I was pleased to find out that one of the small cities here in Georgia, through its local newspaper, the Rome News-Tribune, has produced a very well done set of videos featuring local WW II vets along with their stories. It is very similar to Ken Burns "The War" but on a much more local level. It's fascinating and a very worthy addition to the oral histories of WW II. There are 8 videos in the set and they're all worth the time to watch. But if you have to pick just one to watch, I'd suggest the one on Iwo Jima. Two Marines and a Navy Corpsman talk about that battle, what they saw, what they did and how it effected them and their lives. It is worth the few minutes it takes. If anyone knows about more of these projects that are available on line, I'd love to know about them so I can feature them (mcq51atbellsouthdotnet)."

Founded in 1922 by Donald Lines Jacobus, TAG is edited by a trio of NEHGS members: Dr. David L. Greene, FASG, past recipient of the Society's Coddington Award of Merit; Robert Charles Anderson, FASG, director of the NEHGS Great Migration Study Project; and Joseph C. Anderson II, FASG, who is also editor of The Maine Genealogist. These distinguished genealogists, along with dozens of highly-regarded contributors, uphold and advance the standards for genealogical scholarship so carefully articulated by Jacobus and the Jacobus "School."

Almost all of the glass plate negatives in the Clyde photograph collection were taken at the Clyde works in Granville, and depict both the workers and the machinery they manufactured. Subjects covered include: railway locomotives and rolling stock; agricultural equipment; large engineering projects funded by Australian State and Federal governments; airplane maintenance and construction and Clyde's contribution to the first and second World Wars. Some photographs date back to the 1880s but most were taken between 1898 and 1945.

This site presents selected materials drawn from a variety of Illinois newspapers published during the American Civil War (1861-1865). It does not present individual publications in total, including all stories and advertisements. Rather, project staff have selected news items shedding particular light on Illinois troops' activities during the war, major engagements regardless of Illinois involvement, and a variety of major themes that historians of this period discuss in their work. These themes include Economic Development, Law and Society, Native American Relations, Political Development, Race and Ethnicity, Settlement and Immigration, and Women and Gender. Materials pertaining to Illinois soldiers' experiences and other military engagements are featured under the theme "Soldiers' Lives."
