>Dear Colleague,
>
>The Center for History and New Media at George Mason University would
>like to inform you of free resources available for researching and
>teaching the history of science, technology, and industry through
>ECHO: Exploring and Collecting History Online. We hope you make
>colleagues and students aware of the opportunities offered through
>our consulting services, small grants, workshops, website, and tools.
>
>With support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, ECHO offers
>consulting services to institutions and individuals interested in
>developing projects that collect the recent history of science,
>technology, and industry online. We tailor our consultation to your
>project's scope, focus, and budget to help you implement and build
>your digital history collection. For examples of projects that employ
>ECHO's methods and technologies to collect and present historical
>materials on the Web, see the ECHO Collecting Center at
>http://echo.gmu.edu/collecting.php.
>
>To encourage the creation of "Digital Memory Banks" in the history of
>science, technology, and industry, we are pleased to offer a number of
>$1,000 grants to fund such projects. Please submit a proposal of no
>more than 500 words and a C.V. to echo at chnm.gmu.edu by 15 November
>2006.
>
>For those who want to learn more about doing digital history, we also
>periodically offer free workshops. Our next workshops will be held in
>New York and Washington, D.C. during spring and summer 2007. For more
>information, please see http://echo.gmu.edu/resources/workshops.php.
>
>Through our website we currently make available a gateway to the best
>websites in the history of science, technology, industry as well as
>number of use research and teaching tools, including Survey Builder,
>a tool which allows the easy online collection of historical data. We
>also offer poll-building tools, a Web scrapbook program, a syllabus
>finder, and Zotero, a new research and citation tool, all available
>at http://chnm.gmu.edu/tools.
>
>We look forward to hearing from you and to learning how we can assist
>you in your research.
