Produced and maintained by the Special Collections staff of the Cleveland State University Library, the Virtual Cleveland History Web site is a fantastic omnibus of well-organized links to online historical resources about the greater Cleveland area. Within the site, the links are organized into four broad categories: date, format, location, and subject. The subject categories include real estate, architecture and design, and transportation. From each subject, users can click on these links that will take them to a variety of primary and secondary source materials. The format category will be helpful to researchers and scholars, as it divides the featured online materials into subcategories such as articles, books, maps, and multimedia. The second part of the site consists of a set of tools and links, which are provided to assist users with finding historical information (digital or otherwise) using search engines, bibliographies, and electronic card catalogs. All in all, an impressive collection that will fascinate persons with a passion for the local history of the region.
