Web Site Review


Kelly Schrum
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.

History Matters provides an annotated guide to more than one thousand Web sites for teaching U.S. history.
