Second Call for Information
about Legal History Websites/Multimedia Projects for “Legal History on the Web”
Many of you may have had occasion to use “Legal History on the Web,” a gateway
to online resources related to legal history that we started at Duke University
in 2006. This year we are undertaking a long-overdue update of the site,
building on the platform first created by Mitch Fraas and revised by Ashton
Merck, both working with and under the direction of Ed Balleisen.
We particularly invite suggestions for websites to include in a couple of new categories, as well as sites that engage with legal history outside the United States and the UK.
We are already well into the process of fixing broken links by updating URLs and revising annotations for existing websites where advisable. If you know of any websites that require updates or that you think merit inclusion on “Legal History on the Web,” please send along the relevant information to Siobhan Barco, at siobhan.barco@duke.edu.
Please feel free to send along suggested text for annotations to any new links that you nominate for inclusion. That suggested text needs to be short – just a few lines that encapsulate what the site has to offer legal historians (see current annotations for examples).
