The Research Center is committed to preserving history digitally and sharing our experience and knowledge in this relatively new discipline with others. In addition to our digitization projects, we are also dedicated to promoting information literacy and providing a portal to professionally selected Internet information sources. We have all experienced the following sentiments. Wow, there is so much information available on the Internet. All we have to do is go to our favorite search engine and instantly receive thousands or even millions of responses to our information request. Wow, there is too much information available on the Internet. In the past, we operated in an information desert, but now we operate in an information jungle. Our mission is to guide you through the jungle and make your research task more efficient.
Since this is a non-profit venture, we ask you to be patient with us as we build this site, and we hope that you will return frequently to monitor our progress. We invite constructive feedback or suggestions that will help us provide visitors with the most successful Internet research experience possible.
