Excerpt: 

Context. Perspective. The media, writers, technologists, and every facet of modern medicine bandy about these words. Yet, context and perspective is exactly what the new History of Medicine section is all about. Through the pages of History of Medicine On-Line the history of medicine will be told such that it provides context and perspective on the current and future state of medicine.

Annotation: 

A short collection of articles on the history of different medicinal therapies, illnesses, and the organizations built to combat them.

Excerpt: 

This site has biographies of women who contributed to our culture in many different ways. There are writers, educators, scientists, heads of state, politicians, civil rights crusaders, artists, entertainers, and others. Some were alive hundreds of years ago and some are living today. We've heard of some of them, while many more have been ignored by history book writers. I'd like to acknowledge as many as I can.

Annotation: 

This text only, one-page site is merely a list of ten women (some born in the nineteenth century and some born in the twentieth century) in the history of psychology. Each figure has at least one link to another site which contains information about her life and work. There are no images or biographical material on this site, however; just links.
