HERB - from LIIWEEK: Doing history/midwife Martha Ballard

[Jenne Heise]

I came across this site reviewed in LIIWEEK. Though it is out of period,
(late 1700s) I think a lot of herbalists/apothecaries/students of period
medicine would be interested in Martha Ballards diary and the supporting
material on this site:

>    DoHistory - http://www.dohistory.org/ 
>        Learn historical research methods to piece
>        "together the lives of ordinary people in the past."
>        This site shows how to find, organize, handle, and
>        store original documents. "Basic skills and
>        techniques for interpreting fragments that survive
>        from any period in history" are presented. The
>        site shows an example based on the Midwife's
>        Tale, a book and film about the midwife Martha
>        Ballard and her diary. Links to forms,
>        bibliographies, and other Web sites are provided.
>        Some features require QuickTime or Shockwave.
