About - Course Use

This site, a companion to the Enola Gay Controversy ("how do we remember a war that we won?"), was initially designed for use in "History on Trial," an online first-year writing course offered spring 2004 as part of the Clipper Project at Lehigh University.

Lehigh students and anyone else subscribing to the relevant databases such as Lexis-Nexis may access full text of many of the documents directly. Others studying the controversy should still find the identification of material and the chronological listing helpful, even though they must obtain the actual texts through their own resources.

Though this site will continue to serve the Lehigh courses, we offer it on the World Wide Web since we expect that others will find varied and valuable ways to benefit from organized access to the primary material in this dramatic recent example that "history matters."
