ECHO (Exploring and Collecting History Online) is a directory to 5,000+ websites concerning the history of science, technology, and industry. You can search it, browse it according to category, or even look at the tag cloud we've generated. Every website contains a brief description (some examples are here), and occasionally, a review (like these).

Excerpt: 

What you see on our 360+ pages is the end result of 45 years of research, note-taking, and data-gathering that began one evening in Frank Tallman's retreat at Orange Country Airport and rapidly got out of hand. The full story, unexpurgated, uncensored, and perhaps not all that exciting, is only a finger-click away.

Annotation: 

This extensive site hosts information about the history of aeronautics on more then 300 pages. Historians of science and technology will find useful the pages devoted to timelines, chronologies, biographies, aircraft, power plants and some of the articles found in the features page. The Aeronautica Archives and Collections page may prove useful to researchers who are attempting to locate major collections in the United States. With so much information, the site is not easily navigated, however patient researchers may find more than a few things of interest here.
