The People’s
Century - PBS developed this site as a companion to their documentary
series that covers major issues of the 20th century. Twelve of the episodes
deal with the past 50 years, and each episode has links with an overview, oral
histories, and other websites dealing with the major events discussed in the
program.
American Cultural
History: The Twentieth Century - A group of dedicated reference
librarians from the North Harris Montgomery Community College District created
this site. The popular culture of each decade of the 20th century is described
on separate pages, with subtopics on historical events, music, theater and
film, television, and sports. Hundreds of links are included on each page,
covering everything from the hula hoop to the Rubik’s Cube.
The TIME 100 - This website
from TIME Magazine is dedicated to TIME’s 100 most influential people of the
century. Individuals are divided into six categories–Leaders and
Revolutionaries, Artists and Entertainers, Builders and Titans, Scientists and
Thinkers, Heroes and Icons, and Person of the Century (Albert Einstein). Each
individual has a brief biography and a few links to additional information at
other sites.
