On July 20, 1969, at 10:56 pm (EDT), Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.
Around the world, people stayed up late, woke up early, and stopped their work to watch their televisions or listen to their radios to witness this riveting milestone in the history of science and technology. Now, emblazoned in the popular consciousness, are Armstrong’s words: “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Please help us preserve the public memory of this historic event in an online archive so that future generations can understand the magnitude of this experience.
Echo's Remembering the Moonwalk project seeks to preserve the public memory of the first walk on the moon, made by Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969. People of all ages witnessed the event through radio or television, or heard about the event from others. There is an overview of the first 120 stories, a bibliography, and links to online resources.
As part of our effort to preserve our national heritage, we are seeking stories, memories or anecdotes about the wartime home front embodied by "Rosie."
The Ford Motor Company has partnered with the Natioinal Park Service and the National Park Foundation to collect stories and memoirs from women who worked on the homefront during World War II. Visitors are able to submit their story online, and there is one sample submission for viewing. The narratives and materials collected through this online venture will be maintained by the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Site and used by the Park and others studying this period of American history.
Since the invention of the wheel, mechanical innovation has critically influenced the development of civilization and industry as well as public welfare, safety and comfort. Through its History and Heritage program, ASME encourages public understanding of mechanical engineering, fosters the preservation of this heritage, and helps engineers become more involved in all aspects of history.
Help the American Red Cross Museum document the response to this historic event by sharing your September 11 experience with us. We're interested in everyone who participated directly in relief activities, donated blood, money and time to help those afflicted by the largest man-made disaster in our nation's history. We are also interested in accounts of local community-based efforts that were launched in response to the needs of the victims. How have these events changed your attitudes toward volunteering in times of local or national crises?

For more than a decade we've been collecting books, films and interviews on the histories of industries, companies, executives, products/services, economics, scandals and business fiction. And we've gathered essential books on management's investing, financing and operating decisions. The result: the largest multimedia collection of business histories and management titles available anywhere. Entries are organized by subject, company, year and author.
Echo's Women in Science and Engineering project at George Mason University documents the career experiences of women in science and engineering in recent memory. Our online survey allows women to tell about their career's in their own words, recording the experiences of women scientists and engineers permanently.
Echo invites women with careers in science and engineering to add their experiences to a collection of over 120 stories of individual women working in traditionally male fields. The site includes a lengthy bibliography and links to the best onlines resources. An overview of the first 100 responses is also provided.
These are the 18 artifact categories at The Bakken. Items can belong to more than one category. We have roughly 2500 artifacts. An electrostatic kit from the 18th century would be listed as a generator, a storage case, electrodes, a Leyden jar -- whatever was in the box the kit lived in. Here on the Web, we'll list things by their most noticeable attribute. You can learn a lot about a collection by studying the categories it is sorted into.
This website contains a directory and description of the artifact holdings of the Bakken Library and Museum. The Bakken is a not-for-profit educational institute founded by the inventor of the first transistorized cardiac pacemaker. Fittingly, the collection is largely devoted to the use of electricity and magnetism in medicine and the life sciences. The directory is sorted and listed by categories, but unfortunately the collection is not searchable. The entries for each item include an image, a physical description including materials, size, and weight, and a list of remarks that note special features or the condition of the item. The website also features a commentary that supplements the collection directory with a historical overview.
In partnership with the September 11 Digital Archive, the Library of Congress is providing this opportunity for you to share your experiences and memories of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

In 1999 the Vietnam Center initiated the Oral History Project. An element of the Vietnam Archive, the mission of the Oral History Project is to create and preserve a more complete record of the wars in Southeast Asia by preserving, through recorded interviews, the recollections and experiences of the men and women who participated in these wars, as well as those military and civilian personnel involved in activities surrounding the wars on the homefront. The Archive believes that the history of the wars in Southeast Asia is not complete without the inclusion of the voices of the men and women who were involved in the wars.
The Vietnam Project at Texas Tech University includes an Oral History Project to preserve the experiences of people involved with the wars in Southeast Asia on the homefront and abroad. Those who served and wish to be interviewed should fill out and return a questionnaire available on the site. There are also guides and resources for people conducting their own oral history projects on the topic, and answers to frequently asked questions about the Vietnam War and the Vietnam Center.
