  American Indians of the Pacific Northwest -- American Memory Project
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/award98/wauhtml/aipnhome.html

This Website from the Library of Congress's American Memory Project
features a digital collection of "over 2,300 photographs and 7,700
pages of text relating to the American Indians in two cultural areas
of the Pacific Northwest -- the Northwest Coast and Plateau." Images
load in thumbnail size and can be expanded to full screen. Each image
includes information about the photographer, links to other related
images in the collection, and notes on the context of the photograph.
The source of the image and its current repository are also provided.
The entire collection can be searched by key word or browsed by
subject, geographic location, and photographer.

  Poster Girls of World War II
http://www.geocities.com/queenknuckles/animate.js

This apparently anonymous Website places online over 60 World War II
posters featuring women. Most of these are American, but some British
and even German posters are included as well. The images are accessed
first in thumbnail sketch from a sidebar and can be expanded to a
full window size with a click. While no accompanying commentary is
provided, the images themselves are fertile ground for a
consideration of the figuration of women, their role in the war
effort, and the impact of their contributions to gender role issues
in post-war America. Just as an example: one poster for war bonds
shows a woman with her children clustered around her, babe in arms,
and the bold overhead caption: "I GAVE A MAN!" This site serves as a
useful supplement to the larger World War II poster collection held
at the Website of the Northwestern University Library (see the March
13, 1998 _Scout Report_ for details). Caveat: we suggest turning down
your audio when you visit this site or quickly clicking through the
introductory page to avoid the gratuitous, soap opera-like "theme"
music.
