Silk Road Seattle

"Silk Road Seattle is an ongoing public education project using the "Silk Road" theme to explore cultural interaction across Eurasia from the beginning of the Common Era (A. D.) to the Seventeenth Century. Our principal goal is to provide via the Internet materials for learning and teaching about the Silk Road. Much is available here already: historical texts, well illustrated web pages on historic cities and architecture and on traditional culture of the Central Asian nomads, extensive annotated bibliographies of resources, an electronic atlas, and a stunning virtual art exhibit drawing on museum collections from around the world. Our ability to expand the offerings will in part depend on the degree to which those who have appropriate expertise and materials may be willing to contribute to building the site. Please contact us with suggestions, and let us know in what ways you may have found our materials to be of value."
