The Carter Center
http://www.emory.edu/CARTER_CENTER/homepage.htm

I wasn't sure which category or chapter to place this one in as it contains
a plethora of topics and links. This site was founded by former U.S. Pres.
Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalyn Carter and it is a shining star of both
breadth of topics and freedom of content. This site is truly a bonanza of
information, educational resources and more. There are reports from field
reps in many countries of the world including perennial human-rights
violators such as Ghana, Burma and Zambia. There are links to efforts
and ongoing reports from the Human Rights Program, the Conflict Resolution
Program, The American Project, Global 2000 Learning and All Kids Count.
There are other numerous links to projects concerned with poverty, hunger,
disease and political, social and religious opression and persecution. This
is an unbelievably well-stocked sight of hard-hitting and relevant info.
You would be hard pressed to find a better single resource than this site.

Scott's Civil War Letters
http://www.ucsc.edu/civil-war-letters/home.html

Scott was a private in the US Civil War (36th Infantry, Company A, Iowa
Volunteers) and he served for 3 years during 1862 - 1865. In this time
he wrote many letters to his sweetheart and neighbor back home in Iowa.
Her name was Hannah Cone and she was the recipient of this wonderful
collection of letters that has been preserved and now is available to the
public via the WWW. You can choose a year from 1862 - 1865 and then you
will see a short summary of each letter and if you click on the letter
you wish to read in full - the entire text of that letter will appear and
can then be read. This site is a wonderfully good resource for you can
see and read a piece of history and you really almost start to feel like
"you are there" being transported back into time. This site is also note-
worthy in that it has many links to other Civil War related sites and
Civil War resources and materials on the Internet.

Carnegie Mellon English Gopher Server (The English Server)
gopher to: english-server.hss.cmu.edu
or
gopher to: english.hss.cmu.edu
or
gopher://english-server.hss.cmu.edu:/mac

One of the best gopher sites imaginable - there is absolutely too much to
list here. Tons of subdirectories that contain a wealth of information.
Everything from works of literature of software. A great gopher site that
you can get lost in for hours - not through a poorly designed site format -
but by the sheer size of it and the informative and interesting things it
has in here. Grab a BIG shovel - you'll be burrowing for hours !
