Fun Stuff!
Greetings,
I have been wiling away the hours in a splendid location for the World
Wide Web equipped.
I connected to the Library of Congress
http://www.loc.gov
Then browsed through their exhibits, and ended up in the exhibit:
Rome Reborn: The Vatican Library and Renaissance Culture.
Now I admit to having nice tools to view this (a PowerMac with a 17
inch monitor NCSA Mosaic and a JPeg Viewer), but this stuff is great
any way you slice it! They have images of the documents displayed in
the exhibit and you move through the halls and rooms and can read the
text view the manuscripts (drool) and move on. Lots of fun!
You can even get to the LOCIS online catalog through the web!
Any other great WWW sites out there?
