Gary McCue's John Holland Website is a vast resource on the early history of submarines and the man who became known as the father of the U.S. Submarine Service. McCue worked for a submarine design firm and used the Holland VI as a model for public demonstrations until his investigation of the craft led him into a full research project. The site contains a biographical essay and family information on Holland, descriptions of Holland's designs, summaries competing designers and their ships, drawings, photographs, personal accounts, correspondence, and newspaper clippings. A list of patents attributed to Holland includes a screw propeller, engines, a steering apparatus, and numerous submarine boats and guns. The site is basic and the navigation is not perfect, but the detail and extent of information make it worth a long visit. The site is also noteworthy for some rare information such as first-hand accounts by early crew members and trial reports. The site also provides a bibliography to aid further research.

This site is an informal memoir written by Bob Lash, an early member of the Homebrew Computer Club. Homebrew was a computer hobbyist group made famous by contributing to the success of two of it's members, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniac. The site is definitely geared toward enthusiasts who are familiar with the early technology, but those who can invest the time to learn the lingo will find a rich source of information about the underground technology scene that inspired the development of personal computing in the mid-1970s. The site is basic with a simple text narrative wrapped around a few graphics. The links in the site lead mostly to a few images, but there are some links that point to the sites of other early members of the Homebrew community.

The University Libraries of the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey maintains this site to provide researchers with information about its special collections resources. The collections available at the library include university archives, faculty papers, various manuscripts, oral histories, post cards, medical artifacts, and a New Jersey AIDS collection. Only certain segments of the site are searchable, but the site is easy to navigate and their are several helpful finding guides. Historians of medicine and those interested in regional or state-specific records would be well served by this library, and the site can be a useful tool for identifying the availability of desired information before making a research trip.

The Core Historical Literature of Agriculture (CHLA) site covers an enormous range of agricultural literature dating from the middle of the nineteenth century. The library suggests that the history of the United States can not be understood without attention to American rural and agricultural life. Thus the site acts as a virtual companion to a compilation of 4500 key documentary texts that have been identified and evaluated by a team of historians. The CHLA boasts over 1500 of these books and journals available online. Facsimiles of these works are provided in PDF format. The collection is searchable, or a researcher can browse the holdings by title or by author.

The Writings of Charles Darwin on the Web, edited by Dr. John van Wyhe, is an effort to publish in original format all of Charles Darwin's writings. The site already contains almost all of Darwin's writings as well as an extensive bibliography, images, and a biographical essay. While many of these materials are available elsewhere on the web, according to the authors, many online sources confuse editions, make errors in footnotes, and do a poor job of rendering transcriptions of scholarly quality. The texts here are not available in facsimile, but the authors have employed painstaking care to preserve the text of the originals all the way down to the characters, formatting, and page breaks. Line breaks have been altered in the case of hyphenation in order to allow better accuracy when searching.

The History of Computing Project is a non-profit, collaborative initiative "to record and publish the history of the computer and its roots in the broadest sense of the word." The site is a large collection of short reports divided into six subcategories: Companies, biographies, timeline, hardware, software, and video games. The site contains many images that supplement the historical text, and there are links to outside sources. The site is growing and as the editors add information to address all of their topics completely, this site will become a one stop source for any computer background topic. As it is, the site is large enough to seem a little unwieldy, and it is not searchable, but the division of categories, and the occasional alphabetical or chronological index, organizes the material into segments that are more accessible.

This site documents the history of women in science by providing a long list of biographies including female scientists from a range of disciplines. The site design is old and the navigation is basic, but a large amount of information on certain individuals is available throught this site and its links. The site offers a short introduction, the biographies, a few images, and a bibliography. Visitors can select whether to browse the biographies alphabetically, by date of birth, or by field. The site boasts more than 100 records, but many are one-sentence descriptions which are not useful. Some of the entries give summaries of the women's lives, their significant, and provide links to further online resources devoted that scientist. Other features of the site include an interactive quiz, crossword puzzle, and a long list of links to related sites.

This is an online companion to an exhibit on Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female M.D., that was held in 1999 at the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. The site is well designed and easily navigated. The exhibit contains a narrative description of Elizabeth Blackwell's college career, and there are some images of documents such as her Geneva Medical College diploma; however, the images do not have enough resolution to be easily used as a primary sources online. The site is a good background source, and the captions of the images have references to the location of the original documents for visitors who are interested in pursuing further research.
