You Just Can’t See It Yet. It’s Off Line

The First Two Themes of our Online History of American State and Local Government: As Two Ships are ready and are being integrated into the a restructured Web Site. The Web Site and the Integration of the History will take some time, not too long, but as you might understand it involves a number of excellent folk, some coding, some formatting, and some graphics–and a lot of linking. There will be a Beta Version online, I hope by the end of this week (April 27th) or so. 

Waiting in the shadows are two themes, the first with ten modules, and the second with twenty. That is about several hundred pages of text and graphics. It is organized into 8 page modules on specific topics, and the overall history is meant to be read module by module–or ten to twelve minutes.
