The Long Island South Shore History Project aims to fill gaps in physical holdings by creating virtual archives. Leveraging Web 2.0 technologies like blogs, mashups, and podcasts, the project fosters historical interest for the campus and public. Examples include Vanderbilt Estates map mashup, genealogy blog, and Grand Central PBS video. The initiative also integrates archives with Dowling courses, natural environment studies, and special events. Deep web links to resources like the Met Museum photo archive enhance research opportunities. Stay connected through library-sponsored wikis, course guides, and contact details for project leads.
