Beth Terhune University of Massachusetts Amherst http://rastelli.cs.umass.edu/lizzie/lizzie.html The current prototype uses web-based technology to introduce students to the Lizzie Borden ax murders and related Fall River, Massachusetts history. Using a range of primary documents -- including wills, deeds, maps, census data, city documents, trial transcripts, and financial records among others -- students are introduced first to the trial and through the trial to the Borden family, Fall River, and late nineteenth century cultural developments. By moving the students through an ever deepening and widening set of historical links to the nineteenth century, they learn not only to critique interpretations of the past but interpretations of the present as well.
