Sites with evaluative comment by staff or other members of the HAN community will be indicated with a double asterisk, the name of the reviewer, and the date of evaluation. Sites that have not yet been visited or reviewed will simply be listed by site name only, and may later be eliminated if a visit suggests they have little to offer for the history of anthropology.

I. SITES SPECIFIC TO THE HISTORY OF ANTHROPOLOGY

The National Anthropological Archives at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.

This database contains bibliographic information from the extensive collections of the British Museum's Department of Ethnography (Museum of Mankind Library). There are also links to Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute and Anthropology Today, as well as an interesting Calender of Events for the RAI.
II. HISTORY OF HUMAN SCIENCES SITES
European Society for the History of the Human Sciences (ESHHS)--The ESHHS has recently opened a web-site.
Soci�t� fran�aise pour lhistoire des sciences de lhomme (SFHSH) ---Founded in 1986, the SFHSH had by November 1998 published the 17th number of its Bulletin dInformation, in which there were over 50 pages of information of listings of articles, books, colloquia, seminars, etc. covering all areas of the history of the human sciences, including anthropology.
III. USEFUL GENERAL SITES IN ANTHROPOLOGY
American Anthropological
Association This site is elaborated and maintained by the AAA and
contains links to its many publications (including tables of contents of recent issues,
style
guides, submission procedures, etc.) as well as links to selected anthropology sites. It
also
contains excellent sites on ethics and careers in anthropology. Unfortunately and
inexplicably,
it does not yet contain a comprehensive, online bibliographic data base for its many
publications.
**Anthropology Biographies: Brief biographies, of varying length and quality, of over 250 anthropologists, notable and little known, alive and dead, some with photos, bibliography, and links to relevant sites--compiled by students at Minnesota State University, Mankato. Seems quite useful for basic biographical information, mostly from standard sources. [G.W. Stocking, 12/8/99]
