American Museum of Natural History Congo Expedition
http://diglib1.amnh.org/
In May of 1909, scientists Herbert Lang and James Chapin set sail
for the Belgian Congo. When they returned to the states 5 1/2 years
later, they had collected an enormous number of zoological and
anthropological specimens. For a brief overview of the expedition,
watch the Flash introduction, then use the interactive itinerary
to follow their voyage from New York to Western Africa, and up the
Congo River to the Ituri Forest region. And don't miss the Galleries
section, where you'll find the incredibly interesting Map Gallery
that charts the development of European knowledge of African
geography from 1562 through 1940. With more than 2,000 photographs
and dozens of field notebooks, this site begs to be explored.
