Item The Presence of the Past Survey(Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, 1998) Rosenzweig, Roy; Thelen, DavidThis website supplements The Presence of the Past: Popular Uses of History in American Life, published by Columbia University Press in November 1998, offering additional tables beyond those included in the book as well as the full text of the survey questionnaires.Item Hypertext Scholarship in American Studies(Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, 1999) Rosenzweig, Roy; Castonguay, James; Krasniewicz, Louise; Blitz, Michael; Thurston, Thomas; Westbrook, DavidIn order to encourage experimentation in hypertext and scholarship, American Quarterly in collaboration with the American Studies Crossroads Project at Georgetown University and the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University launched this experiment in hypertext publishing. Rather than invite more theoretical statements about the possibilities of online publishing, they wanted to see what electronic publication might mean concretely for American studies scholarship. They also wanted to offer some of the conventional validation and peer review that scholarly publication in a journal generally offers. They solicited proposals and approved four projects, which then went through a peer review and revision process before being made available to the public through this website. In addition, the June 1999 issue of American Quarterly included comments on the experiment from the authors and from other scholars.Item Interpreting the Declaration of Independence(Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, 1999) Finnefrock, Jessica; O'Malley, Michael; Rosenzweig, RoyThe Journal of American History's round table on translations of the Declaration of Independence seemed like a natural candidate for on-line publication. Although the print journal was able to devote a substantial number of pages in the March 1999 issue to the round table, it could not also include the many versions of the Declaration of Independence, as it has been translated into different languages and at different times. Where possible, moreover, we have also included "naive" retranslations back into English so that those who don't know the different languages can get a sense of how some key concepts and words have been rendered. Hosted at chnm.gmu.edu/declaration.Item The Hard Hat Riots(Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, 2000) Miller, Karl Hagstrom; Noonan, Ellen; Spencer, JohnThis website is part archive, part essay, and part interactive exhibit.

Hosted at chnm.gmu.edu/hardhats.Item Blackout History Project(Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media, 2000) Sparrow, Jim; Summers, John; Vuong, TuVinh; Cheng, JohnThe Blackout History Project reconstructed two dramatic social responses to large-scale technological failure, specifically blackouts that encompassed the New York metropolitan region. In early November of 1965, at the height of the cold war, 30 million people living in the most densely populated region of the United States experienced a cascading power failure which blacked out almost the entire Northeast in less than fifteen minutes. Rising to the occasion, New Yorkers assisted each other in a spirit of cooperation and community uncharacteristic of ordinary city life. Twelve years later, in the summer of 1977, the New York metropolitan region experienced another massive power outage, but this time the popular response was quite different. Devastating riots and looting engulfed the poorer sections of the city, inflicting enormous economic damage at a time when New York City was already on its knees. The website includes a timeline of events, an archive of personal stories that were partially collected using a the website interface, and contextualizing essays. Funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation as part of the Science and Technology in the Making (STIM) project.

HERE IS New York was not a conventional gallery show. It was tailored to the nature of the event and to the response it elicited. The exhibition was subtitled "A Democracy of Photographs" because anyone and everyone who took pictures related to the tragedy was invited to submit their images to the gallery, where they were digitally scanned, printed and displayed on the walls alongside the work of top photojournalists and other professional photographers. All of the prints were sold to the public for $25, regardless of their provenance. The net proceeds from the sale of these prints went to the Children's Aid Society WTC Relief Fund.
