The first seeds of this country were planted at Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in what is today the United States of America. The first English settlers arrived at Jamestown in 1607; the first German, in 1608. Therefore, Germans were present at the creation of this nation. The Germans who came to Jamestown in 1608 and subsequently in 1620 were the forerunners of the largest nationality to immigrate to the United States since its founding in 1776.

This is a study of New York City's most striking architectural entities,
its high-rise buildings -- or "skyscrapers" -- which have given the
city much of its nature and prestige and have in fact largely
formed the impression of this city in people's minds.
Expansive site with numerous histories, images and links of or about New York City's skyscrapers past and present.

The American Red Cross, as one of the nation's premier humanitarian organizations, is dedicated to helping people in need throughout the United States and, in association with other Red Cross societies, throughout the world. It depends on generous contributions of time, blood, tissue, and money from the American public to its national headquarters and chapters and blood regions throughout the country in support of its lifesaving services and programs.
The Red Cross Virtual Museum is an excellent resource for both basic historical information about the Red Cross and research material. An interactive timeline and extensive historical FAQ provide valuable information about the Red Cross and many its campaigns and activities. A section devoted to Exhibits and Collections contains images of many artifacts from commissioned artwork to knitting patterns. This sections should see much growth as the Red Cross has closed its visitor center in Washington D.C. and is in the process of making its materials available to the Virtual Museum. Of particular interest to researchers would be the Roll Call section in which many former Red Cross employees and volunteers have entered primary accounts of their experiences, many of which involve wartime or disaster relief.
While still an emerging field of scholarship, the study of cyberculture flourished throughout the last half of the 1990s, as witnessed in the countless monographs and anthologies published by both academic and popular presses, and the growing number of papers and panels presented at scholarly conferences from across the disciplines and around the world. Significantly, the field of study has developed, formed, reformed, and transformed, adding new topics and theories when needed, testing new methods when applicable.
The RCCS site includes in introductory essay to the various facets of cyberculture scholarship, courses offered at universities worldwide, upcoming conference information, and links to other cyberculture sites. Submissions are accepted for both course and conference listings. Of note is a section of book reviews featuring multiple reviews for single books with author responses as well.
