Groups on the Web

The information you find on the Web is as varied as the people who put it there. Groups that publish information on the Web include:

Library of Congress

Libraries - The Library of Congress puts copies of important historical photographs and documents on their site called The American Memory Project. Chabot spends a lot of money on quality sources--journals, indexes, and electronic books--that it makes available on the Web.
