a roundup of the nicest figures recently published in scientific journals.

Histology ImageReview was created with the purpose of providing students with a systematic review of cell and tissue biology and organ histology. It offers several different magnifications of a structure, tissue or organ as if the student were using a microscope in the histology laboratory.  In addition, Histology ImageReview contains selected clinical correlations which augment basic histological information. Furthermore, the program provides a mechanism for self-assessment employing image-based questions and learning responses.

Great piece explaining the complexities of images, copyright and public domain--we have more rights then we are willing to exercise!

"The approximately 1,235 images in this collection have been selected from a wide range of sources, most of them dating from the period of slavery."

an image database about the period in the history of the United States immediately following World War I. The dates are approximately from the Armistice in November of 1918 to the collapse of hyper-inflation in mid-1920. Within these two dates the country witnessed--not so much in rapid succession as concurrently--a deadly flu epidemic, a strike wave of unparalled proportions, harsh suppression in some cases of those strikes, race riots, hyper-inflation, mass round-ups and deportations of foreign born citizens, expulsion of duely-elected officials from various offices in government, an incapacitated president, espionage laws, sedition laws and, of course, the advent of Prohibition and women's suffrage.

It was a time then of great upheaval, of right-thinking men--in the words of Walter Lippmann--"scared out of their wits". It is this fear that Red Scare seeks to document, not only as it related to what variously were called "Reds", "Anarchists", "Outside Foreign-Born Radical Agitators" and the like (though of course they play an important role here), but rather the whole breadth of experiences from this period of which the anti-red hysteria was one symptom. Indeed, it is because the anti-red hysteria was so emblematic of the time, that we use it in the context of this database as a short-hand way of expressing the whole period.

From the website:

Developed at James Madison University, the Madison Digital Image Database (MDID) software brings the digital image library into the teaching and learning process.

The purpose of this website is to make the MDID software available for download and to share information with the MDID user community. Since the first release in 2001 many institutions have implemented the MDID software with their own digital image collections. MDID2 users can share collections with each other, giving institutions instant access to previously unavailable image collections.
