HistoryLink.org: The Online Encyclopedia of Washington State History <http://www.historylink.org>. Created and maintained by History Ink, Seattle, Wash. Reviewed April 12 and July 12, 2005.
HistoryLink calls itself the online encyclopedia of Washington State history. Those of us who live in Seattle have learned to use it as a first resort for almost any question regarding the history of our region. And it turns out that there is nothing quite like it for other regions. Historical encyclopedias serving other states are usually online versions of published volumes and are limited in scope and static in form. HistoryLink is wonderfully dynamic. Content is continually added, and the database-driven architecture means that any search term will lead yield a wealth of entries.	1
The 3,800 entries fall into three categories. Major historical issues and events are detailed in medium-length photo-illustrated articles. Shorter "Timeline" entries capture less significant events or curious incidents as they were covered by period newspapers. "People's Histories" are extracts from oral histories or biographical pieces that have been submitted by volunteers. In addition, the site features 19 "Cybertours"—photo-essays of various communities— and 28 slide shows that visually introduce significant events.	. . .
