The Internet places virtually all of the best cutting-edge historical programs just a mouse-click away. This trend has taken hold and is escalating. As you read this, history groups from Albany, New York to Albany, Australia are uploading significant materials on new and improved web sites. In fact, soon the arena of action in the larger history field (and particularly in public and popular history) will be most significantly represented on the Internet.
Given the diverse and far-flung
nature of its principal audiences, the Colonial
Albany Social History Project subscribes to this notion and intends
to become an exemplary part of an ongoing dialogue relating to community-based historical research, programming, and service. The links below are presented to help bring that world closer together.
