Here's a posting from Medtext-L that I thought folks on Museum-L would be
interested in given the recent discussion on this topic.

>1.  The History Section of the American Library Association's Reference &
>User Services Association has released a brief, illustrated online guide
>for students, _Using Primary Sources on the Web_, whose current URL is:
>http://www.lib.washington.edu/subject/History/RUSA/
>
>The guide's section headings are: "What are Primary Sources" [_sic_; no
>question mark]; "Finding Primary Sources on the Web"; "Evaluating Primary
>Source Web Sites"; and "Citing Web Sites".  Internal links to a variety of
>other sites, including several major online text collections, augment the
>pedagogic utility of this offering.  Although more could be done to
>improve the guide (e.g., enable the shoulder-note hotlinks, which were not
>working just now), this could be a worthwhile addition to many course pages.

>Comments and suggestions about this guide should be sent to the chair of

>2.  One of the online text collections linked to is _EuroDocs: Primary
>Historical Documents from Western Europe_, whose URL is:
>http://library.byu.edu/~rdh/eurodocs/
>
>Those who have not looked recently at EuroDocs' section on "Medieval &
>Renaissance Europe" may be pleasantly surprised by the nature and breadth
