Fifties Web
Candice Rich.
Presents primary and secondary source materials relating to pop music and television of the 1950s, compiled by a self-proclaimed “Baby Boomer.” More “sentimental” than scholarly, the site divides into eight sections: “Classic TV”; “Trivia and Games”; “Burma-Shave Slogans”; “In Memoriam”; “Elvis”; “TV Westerns”; “Music of the 50s”; and “Pop History,” including inventions, technology, Oscar movies, and sports. The music section currently includes only public domain material due to an April 2000 “Cease and Desist letter.” Offers background essays written by the site’s author, images, songs, lyrics, advertisements, a year-by-year list of top-rated TV shows, and video and audio clips from selected shows. Searchable with a site map for easy navigation. Also provides an annotated list of 113 links to related resources. Regularly updated. Created by a commercial website design company, the site is marred by blinking ads for products and services unrelated to the site’s content. Useful for those studying 1950s youth culture, especially pop icons of music and television.

Senator Joseph McCarthy: A Multimedia Celebration
Webcorp.
Five audio clips and four samples of film footage relating to the infamous anti-communist crusades of Senator Joseph McCarthy. Briefly annotated, the materials include a 10-minute speech by McCarthy; an oration delivered at the 1952 Republican National Convention; footage of McCarthy with President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Vice President Richard M. Nixon; images of the senator excoriating “the deluded liberals, the eggheads”; and the notable confrontation between McCarthy and the Army’s chief counsel before a national television audience. The site, by a web design firm, offers no background materials, but these are useful sources for those interested in Cold War era witchhunts and the importance of the media during this period.

The Paul Robeson Collection
University Publications of America.
This site introduces a published guide to the works of Paul Robeson (1898–1976), African-American singer and radical political activist. It describes the collection, which concentrates on the years between 1926 and 1956, but offers no sample documents, images, or other primary material. A 3,500-word biographical outline discusses in detail Robeson’s persecution at the hands of the U.S. government. Limited usefulness.

Cold War Policies, 1945–1991
Steven Schoenherr, Professor of History, University of San Diego.
Arranged into eight chronological sections—from “Negotiation, 1945” to “Revolution, 1989–1991”—this site presents several dozen primary and secondary materials relating principally to the military and foreign policy dimensions of the Cold War. The majority of the primary materials consist of images—photographs, maps, political cartoons, ads, and charts—though transcriptions of important diplomatic documents are also provided. Secondary resources include short background essays of 200–350 words in length; “outline notes” that sketch major benchmarks in the Cold War and include links—many now dead—to documents in related sites; links to 36 related sites; a bibliography of 95 titles; and listings for nine relevant films.

Cold War: Postwar Estrangement
Library of Congress.
One “showcase” within a multi-part exhibit that presents Soviet archival documents, this site offers three items related to Cold War politics and ideology: a 1945 telegram from Stalin to Harry Truman; a 1971 document from the Communist party’s Central Committee, “Additional Measures To Expose Imperialist Policies”; and a 1962 telegram from Khrushchev to John Kennedy protesting American policy in Cuba. The documents, available as both untranslated images and translated texts, are accompanied by a useful introduction of 1,036 words. Visitors should consider using the site’s “guided tour,” which incorporates these materials within the larger exhibit.

The Malcolm X Interview
Syed Yusuf.
This site reproduces an 8,000-word interview with Malcolm X, conducted by the writer Alex Haley, co-author of The Autobiography of Malcolm X (1964). The interview, which originally appeared in the May 1963 edition of Playboy magazine, reveals Malcolm X at an early stage of his development as a black activist. “Many will be shocked by what he has to say; others will be outraged,” write Playboy's editors in a preface. “Our own view is that this interview is both an eloquent statement and a damning self-indictment of one noxious facet of rampant racism. As such, we believe it merits publication—and reading.” An interesting and useful primary source.

Voices of the Civil Rights Era
Webcorp.
Audio clips of speeches by three prominent public figures of the early 1960s: six from John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, which reflect the “doomed idealism” of the early 1960s; five from Martin Luther King Jr’s 1963 March on Washington speech; and 11 demonstrating Malcolm X’s oratory prior to his pilgrimage to Mecca, a period “often characterized by provocative rhetoric and violent imagery.” The audio components are introduced by very brief remarks. A valuable assembly of speeches, compiled by a web design firm, that illustrate the contrasting rhetorical styles of these influential voices.

The Cuban American Media Web
Forbes Center for Modern Culture and Media, Brown University.
A complement to a course at Brown University that investigates “mass and independent media production by Cuban and U.S. nationals as well as exiled Cubans and first generation Cuban-Americans of the current revolutionary era.” Features nine separate “collective memories” about the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, including interviews by students with their parents. Also provides a transcript of a “conversation” with filmmaker Julio Garcia Espinoza; a letter from Soviet Premier Nikita Khruschev to President John F. Kennedy protesting against the latter’s issuance of an “ultimatum”; the course syllabus; a 22-title bibliography; cartoons and essays by eight class participants; and a list of 14 links to related resources (many of these links are broken as the site has not been updated since 1995).

Vietnam War History Page
Project for Dr. Ron Nurse’s History of the Vietnam War class during the first summer session 1995 at Virginia Tech University. Gives a one-paragraph background of the Vietnam War and 10 pictures but provides 31 links to other Vietnam War-related sites. Gives link to Vietnam Veteran’s Home Page. About 1/3 of the links are broken and the site is hard to read because of the use of red characters on a black background. Appears to be an orphaned (abandoned) site

The Assassination Web
The Coalition on Political Assassinations.
Maintained by the Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA), this site is devoted to revealing information about the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr.. It devotes substantial space to questioning the accuracy of Gerald Posner’s book, Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JKF, and “developments in the Martin Luther King, Jr. case.” Also furnishes access to COPA’s Electronic Assassinations Newsletter—which features articles about “cold war era political assassinations” written by authors “seldom found in what would be considered the mainstream media”—presents background information about COPA; and lists 20 related links. Of limited value for classroom use, the site will attract the interest of assassination buffs.
