HACOLP - About this project

  • The Historical Atlas of Canada was a three-volume collaborative research and
    publishing project, finished in 1993, which used maps text and other graphics to
    explore themes in the history of Canada. The Historical Atlas of Canada was
    published in English and French versions, the last volume in 1993. In 1998, the
    Concise Historical Atlas of Canada was published, a selection of plates from the
    original volumes, with new essays connecting them. The Atlas uses thematic
    mapping to describe events, issues or patterns in Canada's development.


    The Historical Atlas of Canada Online Learning Project is intended to make
    the maps and data generated for the Atlas available to a wider audience by
    re-designing them for the Internet. This is being accomplished by creating a web
    site which includes conventional text and image pages, but where the main focus
    is on interactive maps. By enabling users to zoom in and out on map displays,
    turn map layers on or off, and access the tables of data behind the maps, the
    map-viewing experience becomes active exploration of the data and themes
    presented.

Google For Educators - Custom Search Engine

    • With Google Custom Search Engine, you can:


      • Create a CSE at any time and Google will give you a landing page with a
        unique URL. You also have the option of applying your own site's look and feel.
      • Invite friends and colleagues to collaborate and
        contribute
        to your search engine, enhancing its usefulness to your
        community.
      • Provide your own search refinements
        within results pages so it's easier for your users to find the information
        they're looking for.
      • Easily add more sites to
        your search engine's index as you surf the web.
      • New! You can create a CSE on the fly
        simply by cutting and pasting a few lines of code into your website's HTML. Your
        new automatically generated CSE will let people search the websites you've
        linked to, as well as the sites they link to. For instance, if you've created a
        directory, a blog roll, or a list of online resources, your CSE will enable your
        users to search across these sites and the sites they
        reference.
      What will your CSE look like? If you choose to have
      Google host it, it will look something like Lucy Gray's Research
      Sites for Kids
      .
