Web Site Review

Territorial Kansas Online, 1854–1861 <http://www.territorialkansasonline.org>. Created and maintained by the Kansas State Historical Society and the Kansas Collection of the University of Kansas. Visited Sept. 4–9, 2004.
The Territorial Kansas Online, 1854–1861 Web site bills itself as a "virtual repository." Spare in their own interpretations of "bleeding Kansas," the Web site's authors have chosen to offer a vast array of primary sources, drawn mostly from the Kansas State Historical Society and the Kansas Collection of the University of Kansas, and let readers come to their own conclusions about the material. The site is a wonderful resource for teachers and professors as well as for researchers in the field.	1
The Web site's strength is the number of primary sources that it makes available. Its creators have given visitors several ways to search through this information. The easiest to use is the Topics sidebar, which offers five choices: Territorial Politics & Government; Border Warfare; Immigration and Early Settlement; Personalities; and National Debate about Kansas. Other topics, such as Women, Slavery, and Native Americans, could well be added to offer other ways to approach the Kansas experience. Other sidebars include timelines, lesson plans, an excellent bibliography with hot links to many of the works listed, historic places, and links to related sites.	. . .
