- Travels with Elizabeth Simcoe is a virtual exhibition posted by the Archives of Ontario, Canada, based on the archival documents in the Simcoe collection. As the site explains, "Elizabeth Simcoe was the wife of John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada" -- which is now Ontario. The exhibition showcases Elizabeth Simcoe's diaries (together with audio clips of notable passages), along with her paintings and drawings from the early-to-mid 1790s, when she travelled through Upper and Lower Canada (later Quebec). The exhibition provides users with a historical sketch, "both [of] the raw beauty of the untamed landscape and [of] the day-to-day life of a gentlewoman in pioneer times." The site gives a biographical overview of Simcoe, including her early life in England and her rough passage across the Atlantic. |

- This is an excellent resource for both teachers and students. The nineteenth-century city is defined by maps, images, quotes, and statistics at this website. For the purpose of "The Nineteenth-Century City", the 'city' is namely London and Manchester, two of Britain's most dynamic cities during the Industrial Revolution, which shaped the Victorian period. The nineteenth-century is organized in ten pages, each one focusing on a major aspect of the city and its dwellers. These topics are Population, the Railway, the Great Exhibition, Housing and Health, Work, Education, Law and Order, Fashion, Architecture, and Women/Wives/Widows. |

- The Great Exhibition of 1851 in many ways symbolizes the British Empire at its peak during the Victorian period. The collection of exhibits from colonies and countries around the world in direct comparison to the excellence of British technology and industrialism was held in what many saw as a fairytale castle, namely the Crystal Palace. At this website there are numerous images of the Crystal Palace in Hyde Park and the exhibits and events during the first World's Fair in London. There are quotes from Pugin, Paxton (the architect who designed the grand greenhouse), and as plates from various published catalogues during the fair. As well as information about the exhibits and the Crystal Palace, there is a biography on Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's consort, who was largely responsible for the Great Exhibition, heading the Royal Council in charge of the event. |

- A colleague with whom I have only a sort of passing acquaintance, Ward Cunningham has invented two things I find remarkable: CRC cards for describing object-oriented systems, and the Wiki. Now, Ward has apparently been wooed by Microsoft to work there. On his Wiki, he is now seeking advice about his new job.I posted my notes there. |
