The Salem Witch Trials has captured the attention of many different groups and has been remembered in many different ways. One of these ways is on the Internet. With the multitude of search engines available, one becomes lost in the resources available on the web. A viewer can find sites pertaining to their interests, but usually after a long and exhaustive search. For information on the Salem Witch Trials, you have come to the right spot to find out almost anything you ever wanted to know about the trials. But, in case you want to find out more, we have provided a list of web pages dedicated to offering you more sites.
The "Link" pages, which we rate give the viewer a resource for searching for more information. These sites should help viewers discover more salem-related web resouces. Search engines provide results based on the key words input by the user. A links page, on the other hand, will enable the viewer to search sites specifically geared towards the Salem Witch Trials.
The link page will guide you in the right direction, and offer categories of topics to help narrow down searches. A good site would include multiple catagories and choices for the viewer. It should include catagories similar to the ones, which are employed in this page. The sites should be listed in an outline form. Repetition of sites can vary, depending on how the link works. For example, if the University of Virginia site was listed, it could be listed in several catagories. One, a link to each person (ex. Martha Corey web sites, with a link to the e-text site). It should not however, link to the home page in every catagory.
A better link page would include active, accurate links. The link itself should be active, and the information included in the web page should be accurate. The point of a links page is to narrow down a search engine and only give links to the better sites, not the inaccurate, "homemade" sites.
The only link page we have found to date is the Jefferson High School page. It seems to have been done by a teacher to guide students to sites on the trials and includes 14 links.
