Arctic Studies Center

This excellent multi-media site from the Smithsonian combines innovative Web design with sound museum practices. To begin with, the site features not one or two online exhibits/ features, but ten of them, each rich with information, images, and sounds taken from native arctic peoples, landscape, and wildlife. For instance, Agayuliyararput: Our Way of Making Prayer is the first exhibit of Yup'ik material presented by a collaboration of native Alaskan people, researchers, and museum professionals. The presentation utilizes photographs as well as video and sound accompaniments to bring traditional Yup'ik Masks to life within their native context. There is also a virtual reality exhibit entitled Crossroads of the Continents: On the North Pacific Rim as well as sections on Arctic Wildlife, Northern Clans, the Yamal people, Arctic Social Sciences, and more. The Web links page provides an extensive list of related sites, and the publications section has the same sort of coverage on print resources. Note: Internet Wave is no longer available, so users who do not own it will be unable to access a few audio components of the site.
