25 Vietnam War Internet Project Website
The SHWV archives are part of, and affiliated with, the Vietnam War
Internet Project (VWIP). Articles and bibliographies that have been
posted to SHWV and other related material are maintained at the VWIP
website at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidental Library located at the
University of Texas in Austin at:
http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/vwiphome.html
This website offers many features that are not available directly
through the newsgroup. These include:
1. The Image Library
The Vietnam War Internet Project website contains a substantial image
library, including most of those previous housed at the Byrd Archives,
and a large collection of armor photos. The Image Library may be accessed
from the homepage, or directly at:
http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/imagetop.html
Individuals with images that they would like to see appropriately
posted on the web are urged to post such images to the newsgroup (in
uuencoded form) if they are small, or to send them directly to the
newsgroup's information address (vietnam-request@home.net) for placement on
the website. Please include as full a description of the image, including
date and location, as is possible.
2. Articles Resource Pages
A number of articles have been posted to SHWV. To ensure easy
accessibility of these pieces, they are archived not only within the
logfiles but separately on the websites. Articles of all types and
from all aspects of the debate on the Indochina Wars are welcome. If
you have an article that you wish to add, please submit it for posting
on the newsgroup. SHWV articles, as well as others not posted to the
newsgroup, are available at the VWIP through the homepage or directly
at:
http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/art-top.html
3. Memoirs and Personal Narrative Pages
Over time, the archives of the newsgroup have become a valuable
reference resource in terms of the discussion about the contested
nature of the issues surrounding the war and in the oral history
included in the articles labeled "PER NAR". They are included in the
logfile archives of the newsgroup. They are also available as part of
the Memoirs and Personal Narrative section of the VWIP website. so that
they may be more readily accessible as a resource. This section may be
accessed from the VWIP homepage, or directly at:
http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/articles/pnar-top.html
4. Document Resources
A long term project by the Vietnam War Internet Project, documents
relating to the Indochina Wars are being placed on the web. New
documents will be added frequently. This section may be accessed from
the VWIP homepage, or directly at:
http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/doc-top.html
5. Resource / Topical Index
The Vietnam War Internet Project offers topical indexes both by subject
and by author. As part of an ongoing project, topics will have a short
descriptive entry, validated and recommended web sites, bibliographical
information and lists of related topics. As part of this project, SHWV
moderator Ted Gittinger is working on a full topical index of the
soc.history.war.vietnam newsgroup which will be a stand-alone entity as
well as being integrated into the VWIP index. The VWIP Resource index
may be accessed directly at:
http://www.lbjlib.utexas.edu/shwv/topictop.html
6. Oral History Project
The Vietnam War Internet Project is also engaged in an ongoing project
to bring to the web existing oral history collections, such as the one
at the LBJ Library, and will be collecting its own series of interviews
with "street level" folks - regular soldiers, sailors, anti-war activists,
etc.
