Awesome Stories: "This Internet site is a new interactive, electronic learning tool. We produce stories behind some of the world's most interesting people, places and events.... By assembling URLs to some of the most important, relevant, on-line material in one place, and organizing those links around an interesting story, we uncover for everyone what was once available only for scholars. By linking to national archives, libraries, museums and other institutional sites, we deliver the source material at the precise moment it's needed. We also help the learner to get involved with the story."
