Web Site Review
| Illinois during the Gilded Age, http://dig.lib.niu.edu/gildedage/. Created and maintained by Northern Illinois University Library. Reviewed June 2006.
|
| This attractive and easy-to-navigate Web site, one of five Northern Illinois University digitization projects, invites users to explore the history of Illinois during the Gilded Age. Funded by a small grant of $30,000 from the Illinois Board of Higher Education, the site accesses sources from the Newberry Library, the Chicago Historical Society, and the Illinois State Library. While only 287 primary sources are currently available for viewing, new sources are being added all the time, and the project director, Drew E. VandeCreek, estimates that the number should at least double by the end of 2006. |
