The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World
About the Project
(excerpted from the project website)
The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World reconstructs the time cost and financial expense associated with a wide range of different types of travel in antiquity. The model is based on a simplified version of the giant network of cities, roads, rivers and sea lanes that framed movement across the Roman Empire. It broadly reflects conditions around 200 CE but also covers a few sites and roads created in late antiquity.

Lincoln at 200

A Collaborative Project of the Newberry Library, the Chicago Museum, and the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.

About the Project
(excerpted from project website)
Lincoln at 200 is a collaborative project of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, the Chicago History Museum, and the Newberry Library. The Institute for Museum and Library Services has generously provided funding for this Web exhibition as part of a series of initiatives to commemorate the Lincoln bicentennial. All three institutions collaborated in planning public programs in Chicago for the bicentennial year. Eileen Mackevich, executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, initiated the discussions that led to this collaboration. We are grateful to her and to Jennifer Rosenfeld, deputy executive director of the Bicentennial Commission, for their energetic and collegial participation in this initiative.
