DeepArch Research Group in
Technology, Archaeology and the Deep Sea presents

"Civil War High Tech: Excavating the Hunley and Monitor"

In the last few years, archaeologists have recovered two of the Civil 
War's most ingenious inventions: the Union ironclad warship Monitor 
and the Confederate submarine Hunley.  In this symposium panelists 
discuss the newest technology projects that have brought these 
inventions to light from the sea depths, and what they can teach 
about technology and the Civil War.

There are now 122 videos on MIT World.  View the entire video archive at
http://web.mit.edu/mitworld/mainsite/archive.html

As this archive grows the need for search tools and better 
organization of the video files grows as well.  Major changes to the 
web site are in the works.  We expect to go live with the new web 
site in June.  In the meantime, we have reorganized the Site Index 
and Video Archive into an alphabetical listing.  We hope this helps.

MIT World is funded by the MIT Alumni Association
