As the suggests, the Digital History website serves as an online resource center for both and teachers of the American history. The College of Education and the Department of History at the University of Houston collectively contribute to the diverse and rich history material presented on this website. The website contains up-to-date information and was recently updated on 4th of July this year. However, the sources for majority of information have not been cited in the text and it’s difficult to track additional information on particular subject matter.
The user interface of the website is quite friendly and data has been arranged under multiple headings linked to separate pages. For instance, the correlation of slavery to the constitution leading to a revolutionary war is presented in detail on a separate page. The Laughter Genealogy website contains historical material including maps, photos and articles about early North America. This website is a great source of information for researchers seeking genealogy, books and military resources.
However, the complexity of website makes it hard to find an article of interest. The information ranges from recent news articles to earlier American history explorations. Little effort has been made to keep the menus simple and relevant. Additionally, the recency and authenticity of the presented information is also questionable with a number of errors corrected by audience from time to time. However, as a reference and research center, it contains various valuable historical images not available in many other resources.
Both of these websites are providing history scholars with a very comprehensive and in-depth knowledge of American history. However, they still cannot be regarded as complete resources on American history. The controversial questions raised and discussed in Digital History website articles should be researched deeply and presented thoroughly to avoid bias and confusions among scholars. The Laughter Genealogy website contains much room for improvements in arrangement and clarity of information.
