911 ARCHIVE

Just about anyone in the nation who is over the age of 8 can tell you where they were on September 11, 2001. And this site is an archive – not of professional reporters, but rather the email, the blogs and the posts and other reminiscences of ordinary people, like us, who will never forget what they saw and experienced that day.

TURNING THE PAGES

The home of the British Library in the UK, this site provides ordinary non-scholarly folk – like you and me – access to some of the most glorious ullustrated manuscripts of the past centuries. The latest masterpiece – The St. Cuthbert Gospel – the Gospel of St. John – the earliest known intact European book, dating from the 7th century. Fabulously well preserved, the pages look as though they were inked very recently – and not 1400 years ago!
