I would like to plug the website for scholarly digital editions published by the UVa Press: Rotunda entrance is open-access on Grounds and is a gateway to the Founding Era (papers), American Century (recordings), and 19th-Century Lit & Culture collections.
Where or how, exactly, do you access this gallery?
No pictures or mention of McCormick Observatory or Fan Mt Observatory. Boo!
Eric, I don't see a "next" but you could click on "2" and so on in the pagination links.
I would also like to make a plug: The Chaco Research Archive is an online resource providing access to a wealth of information documenting the history of archaeological research in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The archive includes material from dozens of sites excavated in the Chaco Culture National Historical Park and beyond. It was created with the support of The University of Virginia, IATH, the National Science Foundation, the National Park Service, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Providing an abundance of information on the ruins of Chaco Canyon, the website features notable resources such as interactive maps, an image gallery, and a comprehensive and sophisticated query function.
