The Public Archive: History Beyond the Headlines

http://thepublicarchive.com

Initiated as a response to media coverage of the Republic of Haiti in the aftermath of the January 12, 2010 earthquake, THE PUBLIC ARCHIVE serves as a historical resource for Haiti, Afghanistan and in the future, other countries mis-, under-, or poorly- represented within the mainstream press.

As a digital clearinghouse and teaching resource, it compiles historical essays, archival material, and well-informed journalism from across the web, mainly from freely available, if not always easily accessible, open-source journals, digital repositories, and online newspapers and periodicals.

Contributions, comments, and annotations are welcome on the website itself or via Facebook or Twitter:
