Old Bell Notebooks Site

Good grief! They’re still there! Kind-of.

Screenshot of our old Alexander Gram Bell Notebooks Project, still running at UVA.

The notebook figures don’t seem to load, nor any details from Gorman’s map. Still, that was more than I expected to find for a web project from 1993, with updates made from grad school into 1995.

This work was from the wonderful undergrad research lab I joined in my junior year. Profs. Bernie Carlson & Mike Gorman were mapping Bell & Edison’s different paths to inventing the telephone.

And wow, some of it’s still there, sporting 1995 “Netscape-specific” web technologies!

Of course a better site now is the Library of Congress
