All images are digitized | All jpegs/tiffs display outside Library of Congress | View All This online collection provides access to about 7,000 different views and portraits made during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and its immediate aftermath. The images represent the original glass plate negatives made under the supervision of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner as well as the photographic prints in the Civil War photographs file in the Prints & Photographs Reading Room. These negatives and prints are sometimes referred to as the Anthony-Taylor-Rand-Ordway-Eaton Collection to indicate the previous owners. The Library purchased the negatives in 1943. Search tip for this collection: Try putting in very few search terms, particularly when searching for people (for example, try just the person's last name). Many additional Civil War images are in other collections, including drawings, prints, and photograph albums to name a few. View a slide show of samples. Andrew J.
HIAF 201
Introduction -- History 201 introduces undergraduates to the early history of the peoples of Africa, with emphasis on "Black" Africa south of the Sahara. The course begins with the origins of African civilizations in the later "stone age" (ca. 25,000 BCE) and runs through the late-eighteenth-century years of Africa's most intensive exports of slaves. It concentrates on people and civilizations indigenous to Africa. It therefore notices Asian and European visitors only as people in Africa influenced them or took them into account. Such extraneous (though related) topics in European or world history as the origins of Islam, the Atlantic slave trade, European wars that touched African shores, the African diaspora in the New World, and European explorers and missionaries receive attention mainly in their African aspects. This thematic approach means studying the first weeks' lectures and readings carefully to identify the "key themes" that will develop during the remainder of the term.
An Anthropology Webliography: Main
Welcome to my anthro page! Anthropology is such a wide and varied discipline, and the resources available for anthropology research encompass a plethora of options. In the United States, anthropology is divided into four sub-disciplines: physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. I have divided the resources as such. This site provides a basis for preliminary research in the anthropology discipline as well as several general information sources for the casual knowledge-seeker. Also, don't forget to visit your local librarian for more assistance! I welcome any questions, comments, concerns, etc. Sincerely, Kat
