Virtual Jamestown is an ambitious Web project that "explores
the legacies of the Jamestown settlement and the 'Virginia experiment'"
during the period from 1570 to 1720. The site, as both a digital
archive and a teaching resource, seeks to offer visitors the opportunity
to explore the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English
settlement in North America, and follow the complex and at times
unexpected interactions of European, African, and Indian over the
next century. Virtual Jamestown succeeds splendidly with
its wealth of documents, scholarly apparatus, and imaginative hypertext
presentation of those resources. |
