“The Popular Culture Library was founded in 1969 to support innovative teaching and research in cultural studies. It is the largest and most comprehensive research facility in the United States dedicated exclusively to the acquisition and preservation of primary research materials on 19th and 20th century American popular culture.”
“Collections of public domain and copy-permitted historical texts presented cleanly (without advertising or excessive layout) for educational use. Includes Ancient History, Medieval Studies and Modern History.” Also includes too many subcategories to list. A big, cool resource.
This is one of the coolest links from yesterday’s The Visual Telling of Stories entry. It’s “the beginning of a dictionary of the different ways in which information is communicated to members of the public.”

“In the following pages a myriad of inventors, thinkers, businesspeople, and visionaries share their thoughts on where the Net has been and where it’s going. While some give insight today on ways that can help you grasp tomorrow, others take us way out, to the future’s superhuman fringes.”
8900 cartographic links here — also known as Odden’s Bookmarks.
Very nice pinhole photography site.

Dewpoint is a web directory organised by the Dewey Decimal System. It’s one person’s portal, and it’s far from even close to comprehensive, but it’s pretty cool. “The Dewey Decimal Classification is comprised of 10 Classes (Generalities, Philosophy, Religion, Social Science, Language, Natural Science, Technology, Art, Literature, and History). Each class is further subdivided into ten Divisions, and each Division into ten Sections. This page displays the one hundred Divisions, each of which is displayed on a subpage. The numbers in parentheses show the number of links in each Division.”

The main content type indexed by WAPAW.COM is in Wireless Markup Language (WML) format, an XML based language.
