A few websites that I wanted to share with you that were reviewed in my latest round of CHOICE cards (reviews done of books, databases, and other resources done by those in academia and libraries.) These sites both received positive reviews from their respective reviewers, so they would both be considered a great place to go for information on their highlighted topics. So, let's take a look.
One site is the Nuremberg Trials Project, put out and maintain by the Harvard Law School Library. Launched in 2003, this site contains great primary source documents, both written documents and photographs, relating to the Nuremberg Trials of former Nazis after World War II. Covering Cases 1, 2, and 4 of the trials, Harvard Law School has made these digitized resources available for free online at http://nuremberg.law.harvard.edu. Harvard is currently trying to raise funding to digitize their holdings relating to the other Nuremberg Trial Cases, but they have made a great start with over 32000 documents available online.
The other website is Visualising China, from the University of Bristol, UK (hence spelling "visualising" with the letter s.) Launched this past July, the website is an open-access image resource where one can find digitized photos that span 100 years of Chinese of history, from 1850-1950. With more than 8000 images available, users have the option to search and browse the collection in a variety of ways, including allowing them to view images with geotagged map results. The university has plans to expand upon the project by digitizing the rest of their own collection along with several other prominent collections from throughout the UK. Highly recommended by the CHOICE reviewer, you can find the site with its wealth of primary source material at http://visualisingchina.net.
