"Clara H. Isaacman Memorial Trunk Project" The PHEC has developed two (2) trunks of Holocaust materials: one is appropriate for middle school and the other for high school. Each contains maps, reference materials, a classroom set of books, DVDs, nonfiction (memoirs and diaries) and fiction books. The trunk will become the property of the school and should be located in a centralized area such as the library or media center. Each piece will be catalogued by the library for its main collection with the site specified as the trunk, and the librarian will create a special list of trunk contents so materials can be checked in and out properly. One teacher or administrator should be named who will serve as the liaison between the school and the PHEC and oversee maintenance and usage of the trunk.

A Short History of SmarthistorySmarthistory.org is a free, not-for-profit, multi-media web-book designed as a dynamic enhancement (or even substitute) for the traditional art history textbook. Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker began smARThistory in 2005 by creating a blog featuring free audio guides in the form of podcasts for use in The Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Soon after, we embedded the audio files in our online survey courses. The response from our students was so positive that we decided to create a multi-media survey of art history web-book. We created audios and videos about works of art found in standard art history survey texts, organized the files stylistically and chronologically, and added text and still images.

"Universities house an enormous amount of information and their libraries are often the center of it all. You don't have to be affiliated with any university to take advantage of some of what they have to offer. From digital archives, to religious studies, to national libraries, these university libraries from around the world have plenty of information for you. There are many resources for designers as well. Although this is mainly a blog that caters to designers and artists I have decided to include many other libraries for all to enjoy."
