• emphasizing analysis of primary research materials. Working closely with college archivists and their class professors, students improved their ability to evaluate source materials as part of the research process.

• promoting strengthened electronic technical skills - specifically, web page authoring and threaded collaboration - for both students and professors, who worked closely with instructional technologists at each campus in preparing for this project.

• encouraging deepened student understanding of web-based writing and accentuating how a non-linear web-based presentation affords a more complex understanding of cause/effect than that offered by a traditional print-based presentation of research.

• both improving source availability (through web posting of specified sources) and publicizing considerable archival materials to the campus communities at Davidson, Furman and Washington & Lee, and to other ACS institutions.
