Literature, Libraries and Links

This page contains links to various anthropological and archaeological web sites. Some medical and cultural sites are included as well, as they provide insight and usful information to those studying physical and sociocultural anthropology.

All Four Subfields

• ACT: Anthropological Center for Training and Research on Global and Environmental Change
  "ACT is a center where interdisciplinary training and research of the human dimensions of global environment change takes place." This amazing facility is located here on the IU Bloomington campus. If you are interested in such things, contact Emilio Moran, or check out this web page.
  
• American Anthropological Association
  The AAA has links to numerous resources in all of the subfields, as well as jobs links. The 'Anthro Links' has an amazing variety of links to look through. I suggest spending at least an hour looking over this page, because there is so much here.

Physical and Biological Anthropology

• The Leakey Foundation
  The Leakey Foundation home page features information of human origins and paleoanthropology. It includes both history and current events in this area. It even offers a link to travel possibilites to research sites.
  
• PIN: Primate Information Network
  This page, run by the University of Wisconsin, offers all kinds of information on primatology, including links to and about: primates, products for primates, careers, zoos, zoo exhibits and much, much more. I suggest also checking out the WPRC: Wisconsin Primate Research Center, for which there is a link on this page.

Archaeology

• CRAFT: Center for Research into the Anthropological Foundations of Technology
  CRAFT is also located on the IU Bloomington campus. "The CRAFT Research Center is directed towards investigating the archaeological origins and evolution of human technology over the past three million years." It is run by Kathy Schick Nickolas Toth.
  
• Glenn A. Black Lab of Archaeology
  Another wonderful resource here on campus, located between Indiana Ave. and Fess on 8th Street, just behind the Mathers Museum. The web site has links to FEILDSCHOOLS, personnel, exhibits and many other useful things. I suggest walking by sometime when you've got a little time.
• Monroe County Historical Society
  The Monroe County Historical Society is another great resource that is within walking distance. Located at 202 E. 6th Street, it is only block south of Kirkwood. I have volunteered there and gained a great deal of experience. You can work at the front desk, with computers, with the collections or anything else that they need help with at the time. And, if you are a Bloomington native, I suggest checking out the Genealogy library. Here they have information on all the established families of Monroe Co., ranging from birth and death certificates to newspaper clippings.
  

Social and Cultural Anthropology

• University of Oxford Institute for Cultural Anthropology
  I chose this web site to list simply because it is Oxford, in addition to having a great deal of useful information. Possibly one of the best things to check out on this page is their Anthropological resources on the Web link, which has a wealth of useful pages to look over. Also, do read some of the reports that they have listed; they will not only be interesting, but give you ideas about what you might like to do in the future and expose you to writing styles used in this particular subfeild.
