VoS became publicly accessible on March 21, 1995, when the Humanitas server on which it resided opened to global Web access. From its origin to October, 1999, VoS stayed at the same address on the Humanitas server. It grew in that period to over 70 pages of links to humanities and humanities-related resources on the Internet. Its mission has been to provide a structured and briefly annotated guide to online resources that at once respects the established humanities disciplines in their professional organization and points toward the transformation of those disciplines as they interact with the sciences and social sciences and with new digital media. (See such pages as Cultural Studies, Sci-Tech and Culture, Cyberculture, and Technology of Writing.) VoS emphasizes both primary and secondary (or theoretical) resources, and defines its audience as people who have something to learn from a higher-education, professional approach to the humanities (which in practice has included students and instructors from the elementary school, high school, and general population sectors)." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=236698 From the site:  "Gianna Israel is a therapist who provides counseling services to the transgender community. She also publishes articles on transgender issues, including a regular column in Transgender Tapestry, and a series of Gender Articles which are published on Usenet and in CDS Publication's TG Forum, and much more. Over time, much of this material will be available on the web, through this page." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=236470 From the site:  "A division of the Feminist Majority Foundation, the National Center for Women & Policing (NCWP) promotes increasing the numbers of women at all ranks of law enforcement as a strategy to improve police response to violence against women, reduce police brutality and excessive force, and strengthen community policing." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=236472 Homepage of the Feminist Majority Foundation.  From the site:  "The Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF), which was founded in 1987, is a cutting edge organization dedicated to women's equality, reproductive health, and non-violence." http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=84932 This oral history project was inspired by Anne Firor Scott who described how it could be done on the H-Women listserv... and challenged her readers to do it in the classroom. My intro WS students loved doing this project - some did better than others though, so I didn't put them all up online. When the students (and their family members) saw the results online and knew that the oral history tapes were placed in the University Oral History archives for future scholars to use them in their research -- they were so proud! This teaching and learning experience meant so much to them and me. I recommend you try it. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83877 This sourcebook attempts to present online documents and secondary discussions which reflect the various ways of looking at the history of women within broadly defined historical periods and areas. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=79033 This site is the companion site to the PBS documentary on "The Pill." It includes video clips of people discussing life before and after introduction of the pill, a timeline of birth control methods, a transcript of the documentary film, a small collection of primary documents, sketches of important events and people, a video showing how the pill works, a bibliography, links to related web sites, and a teacher's guide. The teacher's guide divides activities into four discipline areas: geography, history, civics, and society.
