History in New Media: U.S. History CD-ROM
Description
We propose to produce a U.S. history CD-ROM for both public and in-school audiences. <em>Who Built America? A Nation Transformed, 1914-1946,</em> uses hypertext and multimedia to survey a vast panorama of key historical events. Public access will be assured by the distribution of free copies to schools and public libraries and by placing portions of the completed CD-ROMs on the Internet. The overall goal is to develop prototypes for presenting scholarly-based historu through electronic media and to foster increased dialogue about the use of new media for the presentation of the humanities to in-school and public audiences.<br /><br />(The grant proposal included a second CD-ROM, <em>Landscapes in Time</em>, that would provide a dense portrait of a particaulr time and a single place. That project was not funded in 1995. The American Social History Project reapplied in 1996 and received limited funding to develop this project. It became <em>The Lost Museum</em>)

Description
SmartFox, a set of tools incorporated into popular, open, and free web software, will address these major problems by creating a web browser that is “smarter” in two key ways. First, one tool will enable the browser to intelligently sense when its user is viewing a digital library or museum object; this will allow the browser to capture information from the page automatically, such as the creator, title, date of creation, and copyright information. Second, another tool will store and organize this information, as well as full copies of items and web pages (not just their citation information) if so desired by the user and permitted by the institution’s site, allowing the user to sort, annotate, search, and manipulate these individualized collections created for scholarly purposes. Critically, all of this will occur within the web browser itself, not in a separate, standalone application; the web browser will be used not just to discover information, but also to collect, organize, and analyze scholarly materials.

Description
Unveiling History: Exploring America’s Past is a Teaching American History grant that provides professional development opportunities for elementary, middle-, and high-school teachers. Teachers who participate in the program will receive graduate credits in history from George Mason University.
Elementary teachers will participate in a 1-week summer institute lead by Professor Christopher Hamner and several school year activities. Workshops will focus on American history, historical thinking skills, and practical applications. Summer workshop themes include: History through Biography, History through Images, History through Objects, History through Drama, and History through Place. The content focus of each theme will alternate between the 4th and 5th grade curriculum each year, beginning with 5th grade during the 2011–2012 program. However, all U.S. history teachers are welcome to participate in any year, regardless of the content focus.
Secondary teachers will participate in a 2-week summer institute led by professors Mike O’Malley (high school) and Adam Rothman (middle school). Workshops blend lectures, demonstrations of teaching strategies, and hands-on activities that emphasize content and historical thinking skills. Content themes include: Founding Documents, Immigration, Technology and Cultural Change, and War and Society.
The website homepage provides resources for teachers nationally, including primary source activities, lessons, teaching resources, and podcasts. Participating teachers will login for detailed information and the course blog.

Description
A re-creation of PT Barnum’s American Museum as a lens into mid-19th century New York City and antebellum America. <em>The Lost Museum</em> website offers visitors a visualization and spacial interpretation of this extraordinary institution as well as an innovative way to learn and teach about the many issues and events of the period. This project grew from a proposal for a CD-ROM project called <em>Landscapes in Time</em> that aimed to provide a dense portrait of a particular time and single place as a complement to the <em>Who Built America? </em>CD-ROM

Exploring U.S. History
Description
These modules, designed for George Mason University's U.S. survey course History 120, offer relevant exercises that reinforce textbook readings and classroom discussion. They provide an alternate, often entertaining, way of investigating historical concepts and problems.
Divided into four chronological periods, these modules cover a variety of topics, including indentured servitude, runaway slaves, popular culture in the 19th century, and advertisements in the early 20th century.
These modules help students build their Information Technology (IT) proficiency. Students can learn to build and maintain web pages, complete online assignments, perform online research, and use technology in historical analysis.

Western Civilization Webography Project
Description
The Webography Project helps students learn to review the historical content of websites. Students using the Project visit and review one or more websites, answering questions in a database and writing annotations that describe the website’s accuracy, currency, and objectivity. The Project database includes close to 1,000 individual student reviews of websites, more than half of which are available online. The Webography Project is available for use by teachers who want to make the analysis of digital sources a central problem in a course.

Interpreting the Declaration of Independence by Translation
Description
The Journal of American History's round table on translations of the Declaration of Independence seemed like a natural candidate for on-line publication. Although the print journal was able to devote a substantial number of pages in the March 1999 issue to the round table, it could not also include the many versions of the Declaration of Independence, as it has been translated into different languages and at different times. On the Web, we are able to include this richer documentation. Where possible, moreover, we have also included "naive" retranslations back into English so that those who don't know the different languages can get a sense of how some key concepts and words have been rendered.
