I. Introduction
History is the record of human existence, the record of events and ideas. Among the most important ideas have been the ideas of science, ideas that have contributed to the intellectual and material enrichment of human civilization. Understanding of, at minimum, the rudiments of the history of science is essential to understanding the world we live in, and is essential to full understanding of science itself. The explosion of the World Wide Web has led to an explosion in the amount of scholarly (and not so scholarly) information widely available in an electronic format. Not only are materials increasingly available in an electronic medium, the nature of the medium allows for new means of presenting information. No longer are authors or curators limited to the format of a book or traditional museum exhibit. Information may now be presented in a manner that is interactive, dynamic, of multiple source formats, and easily updatable. While this medium is still in its infancy, there are a ever increasing number of sites taking advantage of its possibilities to present information on the history of science. This guide consists of an annotated selection of some of the best websites on the history of science. No attempt has been made to be comprehensive, as the number of relevant websites is incredibly large. Additionally, the transient nature of electronic publishing makes the gathering of resources difficult. While all sites reviewed below were active as of Jauary 15, 1999, during the course of the writing this paper there were sites that disappeared.

History
Leon County, originally part of Escambia County and later a part of Gadsden County, was created by the Territorial Legislature in 1824. Named for Ponce De Leon, Leon County was one of the most populous and prosperous counties in ante-bellum Florida. Tallahassee, named for the "old fields" that it once encompassed, earned the title early in the 16th century from the Apalachee Indians who inhabited the area. Legend says that the final spelling was chosen by Octavia Walton, daughter of the territorial governor of Florida. Today, Tallahassee exemplifies not only the influence of the Indian, but also that of the Spanish, French and English who occupied the area in succession. The City of Tallahassee, the county seat and only incorporated city in Leon County, was established in 1825, following a decision by the legislature to locate the capital of the new Florida Territory midway between the population centers of St. Augustine and Pensacola.

HISTORY of McCook, Nebraska
A railroad decision to establish a division point between Denver and the Missouri River resulted in the location of McCook, Nebraska. The city was established when the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company authorized the Lincoln Land Company to build a town near the existing site of Fairview, a frontier outpost and cattlemen's trading center along the Republican River. After the War Between the States, the Lincoln Land Company began promotion with its first issue of the McCook Tribune in June 1882, billing McCook as a new city which attracted artisans, tradesmen, and speculators. The city rose to village status in 1883 and to a second-class city in 1886. The railroad grew simultaneously, becoming the largest depot west of Red Cloud. By 1883 McCook had attracted numerous businessmen and pioneers and had made significant advances in medical services, community services, fire protection, and municipal water. The city established telephone and electric utilities as demands for goods and services increased. McCook's first school opened in 1884 with an enrollment of 189. By 1884 the population was 1,177 and grew between 1,500 and 2,000 by 1886. Cattle business thrived until 1885 when the cattle market declined. The McCook Board of Trade was set up in 1888. The railroad built a "round house" for repair and maintenance shops in McCook during that year, adding many jobs. In the 1890s the building of the Meeker-Driftwood Canal south of McCook paved the way for farmers and agricultural specialists to assist nature in crop and livestock production through irrigation.

"Transportation systems can play a vital role in the economic development of any country, and certainly Egypt is no exception," El Dimeery said. "The question is how to support economic development in view of shrinking budgets for services." In the short term, El Dimeery said, the ministry’s most pressing task is to preserve the country’s existing transportation assets while improving safety and efficiency. Medium-term goals are to increase capacity and enhance performance, while the long-term strategy is to add "new capabilities and capacities to address future demands and competitive requirements."

    oultrie is a peaceful city of beautiful landscapes, huge sprawling oak trees and stately homes. Attractive vistas begin at the heart of Moultrie in the downtown square, where our turn-of-the-century Court House stands, framed by huge magnolia trees. In outlying areas of the county, you'll find vast farmlands and rolling acreage to wander and enjoy. You'll be transported through time, back to 1539 when the Spanish explorer DeSoto first ventured down the Ochlocknee River through the lush pine forest of southwest Georgia. T his very region became Colquitt County, the 115th county in the state, by an act of the Georgia Legislature on February 25, 1856. The County was named in honor of Walter T. Colquitt, a minister, statesman and lawyer who was admired as a military leader in the mid-1860's. Colquitt served in the Georgia Senate and in both Houses of the US Congress. I n 1879, a county seat was formed at the center of the County, and named for General William Moultrie, a Revolutionary War hero, and later, governor of his home state of South Carolina.
