Web Site Reviews

 

Roy Rosenzweig
Contributing Editor


 The Journal of American History, in collaboration with the Web site History Matters: The U.S. Survey Course on the Web <http://historymatters.gmu.edu>, publishes regular reviews of Web sites. The reviews will appear both in the printed journal (and its online companion at <http://www.historycooperative.org>) and at History Matters.
     The Web reviews are edited by Roy Rosenzweig; please contact him at <roy@gmu.edu> if you would like to suggest a site for review or write a review. We also welcome comments on our review guidelines, which are available at <http://chnm.gmu.edu/jah>.
