In 1920, journalist H. L. Mencken and drama critic George Nathan launched Black Mask, a pulp magazine designed to finance the literary magazine Smart Set, and set out to publish "the best stories available of adventure, the best mystery and detective stories, the best romances, the best love stories, and the best stories of the occult." The magazine went on to become famous for popularizing hard-boiled detective fiction, written most notably by Dashiell Hammett, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Raymond Chandler.

This website celebrates the "pulp revival" with the full-text of 20 stories published in the 1920s and 1930s in Black Mask, as well as other similar magazines, including Adventure, Detective Fiction Weekly, and Dime Mystery Magazine, including Walt Coburn's "The Notched Gun" and "Scotty Scouts Around” by Raoul Whitfield. Accompanying these stories is a gallery of magazine covers and photographs of famous authors, as well as guidelines to writing Black Mask-style fiction, and essays on the pulp fiction era.

Provides three full issues—July, August, September 1855—of one of the most popular 19th century publications, Godey's Lady's Book. Each issue includes poetry, engravings, and articles, as well as a section on Victorian fashion. In addition to these full issues, the site also includes a Samples Collection, which features selections from the Book during the years 1855-1858. These samples are divided into six main categories, each of which is further broken down to make the content more accessible. Overall, this is a useful resource for teachers and students interested in aspects of Victorian popular culture.

Perhaps most valuable, the site furnishes approximately 200 partially annotated links, arranged into 12 broad categories such as "Politics," "World History," and "Math and Science."

The six women and two organizations are introduced with biographical essays (300-700 words). For each woman, the site provides from three to six texts, of 100 to 1,000 words, including correspondence, photographs, articles written by or about them, and bulletins and newsletters for movements with which they worked.

A sophisticated search engine guides users through the site's poorly organized and sometimes confusing interface. The site's author is a website marketing consultant. Particularly useful for secondary school teachers seeking to design student projects, this is an extremely rich collection of material.
