In this proposal we seek three-year support for continued development of a Digital Archive on the American Eugenics Movement. The Archive is intended as an educational tool to allow individuals to learn about society's past involvement in genetics by exploring primary materials, many of which originated at Cold Spring Harbor's Eugenics Record Office, that have been inaccessible to the layperson. During the initial term of the grant. 1,230 images were collected from three major archives and incorporated into a WWW database; image collection trips to several additional American and European archives are proposed to increase the number of images to 2,500. Our aim, without leading the viewer to any "correct" interpretation of the materials, is to present images with adequate narrative background. To achieve this, eleven "themes" have been drafted to give the images historical, social, scientific, and ethical context. Brief (1000 words) theme essays serve as an authoritative introduction to the key events, persons, and social conditions that contributed to the development of eugenics. Continued support will enable development of a site guide, of special use to teachers, that will help users draw parallels between eugenics and modern topics in genetics. All images currently appear as photographs, including manuscripts, handwritten correspondence, and printed documents; we propose to transcribe all "text" images to allow full text searches. The Editorial Advisory Panel (EAP) established has been key in the development and scripting of the theme essays and in the formulation of an online publication policy. Input from a "working group of the EAP will have additional responsibilities in a second term, including: provide leads to other archives of eugenics materials; write essays, commentaries, and biographies for the online publication, as well as for a CD-ROM and "coffee table" book publication of the Archive; serve as "lecturers" in moderated online chat presentations and Ask the Expert bulletin board features; and speak at Eugenics and the New Biology: Perspectives and Parallels, a small, professional meeting to be held at CSHL's Banbury Center. In addition to extending the EAP's participation, we will initiate a fellowship in the history of eugenics to provide research assistance for the Archive.

在这项建议中，我们寻求为期三年的支持，以继续开发有关美国优生学运动的数字档案。该档案是作为一种教育工具，可以通过探索主要材料来了解社会过去对遗传学的参与，其中许多材料起源于冷春港的优生记录办公室，这些材料对外行人来说是无法访问的。在赠款的最初学期。从三个主要档案中收集了1,230张图像，并将其集成到www数据库中；提议向几个美国和欧洲档案馆进行图像收集旅行，以将图像数量增加到2500。我们的目标，没有引导观众对材料进行任何“正确”解释，是为了呈现具有足够叙事背景的图像。 为了实现这一目标，已起草了11个“主题”，以赋予历史，社会，科学和道德的背景图像。简短（1000个单词）主题论文是对有助于发展优生学发展的关键事件，人员和社会条件的权威介绍。持续的支持将使教师特殊用途的网站指南能够开发，这将帮助用户在遗传学和现代主题之间取得相似之处。当前所有图像都以照片的形式出现，包括手稿，手写信件和印刷文档；我们建议转录所有“文本”图像以允许全文搜索。建立的编辑咨询小组（EAP）是主题论文的开发和脚本以及在线出版政策制定的关键。 来自EAP的工作组的输入将在第二个任期内承担其他责任，包括：提供其他优生学材料档案；为在线出版物中写论文，评论和传记，以及CD-ROM和“咖啡桌”和“咖啡桌”书籍的档案出版物；在档案中;在调度的在线聊天介绍和询问新的聊天式介绍和专家委员会的演讲；以及在CSHL的Banbury中心举行的小型专业会议，除了扩大EAP的参与外，我们还将启动优生学史上的奖学金，以为档案提供研究援助。
