Amy: good link_3

http://www.smarthistory.org/Smart History is like an art history textbook on the internet. It’s information architecture is very easy to navigate and lets you search by time, style, artist, themes, or you can search by key word in the search box. There is also a nice timeline on the home page where you can “explore smarthistory” and view images of artwork. I think this site is easy to navigate and does a good job communicating it’s information.

http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.htmlThis site attempts to inform users about world history, however is unsuccessful because it’s information architecture is extremely confusing. There is a question mark button on the home page that tries to help you navigate and inform you where you’re supposed to click to find information. Even this is confusing.
