New LC web site: Places in History

The Library of Congress, Geography & Map Division launched a new web site, "Places in History" that allows users to view dramatic historic events such as the Civil War in geographic context to gain better understanding of those events and the unique interplay between history and geography. Please see also the LC's "Places in the News" web site that offers current geographic information on countries and events in the current headlines.
