Most of the web pages in the History directory are organized to support classes and research projects. For example, to locate web pages relating to early U.S. history, check the class page of a course such as American Civilization 17. To locate web pages relating to research projects, check the lists of multimedia projects, student web pages, and faculty. To locate web pages that provide indexes and tools for research, check the bibliography page, local history and multimedia sources.

See How the History Web Pages Are Used for examples of the recognition and citation that faculty and student pages have received.
