French Revolution Website Recognized by NEH

NEH has selected Liberty, Equality, Fraternity: Exploring the French Revolution for inclusion on EDSITEment (http://edsitement.neh.gov) as "one of the best online resources for education in the humanities."

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity was nominated for inclusion in the EDSITEment project in response to an open call for nominations posted on its website and on several humanities listservs. The site was then reviewed by both a peer review panel and a Blue Ribbon panel composed of educators and administrators in education organizations and higher education institutions. Both panels determined that the site met the EDSITEment criteria for intellectual quality, content, design, and most importantly, classroom impact.

NASA, ECHO launch Web exhibit on Columbia space shuttle

One year after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, the NASA History Office has partnered with ECHO’s Shuttle Archive to collect personal reflections on space exploration as part of an online exhibit about Columbia’s mission and crew. The exhibit includes NASA photos, documents, and reports of the Columbia Accident Investigation Board. A link to the ECHO Shuttle Archive allows visitors to submit their thoughts on the loss of the Columbia and view additional materials including government reports, scientific research abstracts, and media coverage of the event.
