“Fear of an Open Beach: The Privatization of the Connecticut Shore and the Fate of Coastal America”
Comment: Karl Haglund, Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation
Hello all,
I have a class that will need to do an online archival research project this time next year, and the theme of the assignment will be "energy".
I will of course direct them to the Library of Congress, the Internet Archive, etc. But I guess I'm looking for more specialized online collections akin to the Forest History Society site, or the U. of Washington Libraries Mountaineers Photo Album collection site, etc.
