Crossing the Frontier: Photographs of the Developing West, 1849 to the Present
Sandra Phillips, Curator of Photography, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
This online exhibit, created by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as a companion to a 1997 San Francisco Museum exhibit, features more than 50 images of the American West from 1849 to the present. These photographs document changes in the way photographers have depicted the American West from the era of exploration and settlement to the development and urbanization of the region. The site’s Exhibition Galleries group the photographs into six themes: Surveying the Land and Building the Railroad; Mining and Oil Extraction; The Open Land; The Growth of Cities and Recreational Use of the Land; The Developed West; and Agriculture, Water, and Lumber. Each theme offers a brief (350–500 word) introduction to the photographs. A “Discussions” section features six short (roughly 250 words) commentaries from prominent curators, historians, and artists on subjects including whether the photographs actually represent art, the development of western lands, and railscapes and western nostalgia in the photographs. Visitors may post responses to the scholars’ opinions. An “Educational Resources” section offers seven very brief (roughly 150 words) general ideas for using the online exhibit in the classroom, including ideas about creating a own local history exhibition, documenting local or family history, and recreating some of the exhibition’s scenes in photography class. These classroom ideas can be adapted to any age group from elementary to secondary school. Though the information on this site is somewhat limited in scope, it provides exceptional images for students and teachers studying the American West, its growth, and urbanization.

Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties
Oklahoma University Library, Digital Publications.
See JAH web review by John R. Wunder and Christopher Steinke.
Reviewed 2009-03-01.
An extremely useful site that has digitized parts of
Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, a highly regarded, multivolume compendium of treaties, laws, and executive orders relating to U.S.-Indian affairs, originally compiled by Charles J. Kappler in 1904. Volume Two presents treaties signed between 1778 and 1882. Volumes I and III-VII cover laws and executive orders involving Native Americans in the period from 1871 to 1970. At present, only Volume II is available in digitized format. All 7 volumes are available on the site. A search function improves on the print version. No secondary resources are available.

Whiskey Insurrection
An interesting, if ordinary, introduction to the 1790s Whiskey Rebellion, as well as a resource for the Pennsylvania historical sites associated with that conflict, this site has limited value to the historian. It includes a relatively unsophisticated 3,500-word essay on the causes and developments of the rebellion (although it is really suited for high school or undergraduate students), and a map of the important sites in western Pennsylvania. For those interested in visiting any of the sites, this website features background information for Bradford House, Espy House, Oliver Miller Homestead, Old Saint Luke’s Church, Neville House, and Bower Hill. Not an especially good place for research, the strength of this site may be its bibliography, which includes about a dozen titles that would be better places for the beginning Whiskey Rebellion student.
