Judges' Comments
This site engaged me in exporing something that I have toyed with over the years. It works well and draws the visitor in.
It represents an exemplar for the museum education community. Their innovative efforts succeeding in engaging this user with a turgid topic and managed to make me interested in practicing my new skill.
This is an interesting interactive tutorial that teaches skills required for interpretation of old documents. There is a rich teacher's guide, as well as a set of secondary materials.
