CLASS OF 1999/2000

updated 8/9/2000

This is the fourth year that students in HIS 1543 have designed websites as part of their research projects. The websites here represent the final version of their research and website. Where available (some were overwritten) they have also provided their first term projects to demonstrate how systematic artifact analysis can lead beyond the object to an investigation that provides deeper cultural understanding than through documentary research alone.

COLLABORATION: Three of this year's students elected to participate in a collaborative project with new media students from Centennial College, Bell Centre for Creative Communications (BCCC). Their projects and collaborative partners are noted below.
