Maritime History on the Internet: a Guide to doing Maritime History Research Online

http://www.seahistory.org/html/maritimeinternet.htm

This site, created by Peter McCraken from University of Washington libraries, aims to provide the maritime researcher with an introduction to the use of online resources. It is intended to complement the use of more traditional printed material. The guide has sections on using online resources for researching ships and people. The site also has a section on libraries and databases; links are provided to libraries (and their online catalogues where available) which have a large maritime collections and to databases which provide access free of charge. The site has two set of web links. There is a webliography which puts links into a detailed classification scheme. Links have also been divided into the following broad categories: general information, museums, specific ships, books and magazines, music, art and Images, maritime education, nautical archaeology and modern sailing. Most of the links have been briefly annotated.
