Unit 4: The Evolution of the Digital Web



Here is a list of very prominent digital projects listing chronologically.  I was unable to find a date for Amiens Cathedral and could not open the Lascaux project at all. 
  • Oyez
  • The Valley of the Shadow Project
  • American Memory Project
  • Romantic Circles
  • Dickinson Archives
  • Persepolis Reconstruction
  • Hawthorne in Salem
  • Hurricane Digital Memory Bank
  • Avalon Project
  • April 16 Archive
  • Digital Karnak

Looking at these projects you can quickly tell that technology has changed from when these first couple of projects started until the later ones.  Oyez project which I think is incredible and gives you a ton of information on all court cases you would need, does not have the depth of the late ones such as Digital Karnak and Hawthorne in Salem.  Although Oyez project does give you links to audios outside of the project Hawthorne and Karnak allow you to use in depth maps right from their page. 
I found a website from the University of Houston that I think would be a good fit to this list, Digital History:

  1. The Oyez project website has evolved a lot over the years. Originally it was mostly just a text repository, like Avalon, but it later added media, and as it expanded in scope the site design evolved also. They have done a really great job keeping it up, but then again they (the authors) have also had quite a bit of funding.
