It's always good to see external organisations making available to the public material that would be more accessible to intellectual circles during the pre-Internet era. AGK

But from what I gather so far this is more like offering a custom Google search tailored to the EHPS approved list of sites. Well, that's what you get by navigating to their search option. How can one easily "save" the search? It would be handy to have that EHPS button to try, and some way short of having it in its own tab. Charles

It's a start. If it can be improved, then good! - d.

I was trying to make a funny (see http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/23/1816257&tid=107 for reference), apparently not very successfully. I think it looks great! It's like a directory for those obscure university sites that have insane amount of material collected, but that you never can find. --Oskar

It's a directory, really. I see it has British History Online, which I use constantly, and which has both primary and secondary source material. I suppose other sites there may be likewise. Charles
