New Deal Website
I actually liked this website BUT, im going to sound like everyone else and say, it was hard to figure out and i liked the photo gallery. The health care section really caught my eye and I think the photos really sumed up how life was back then. I really thought that the "Archives in the Attic" were neat because of the fact that they make history seem more personal rather than a list of dates and events. They actually show documents and things that people had back then that they contributed to the website. I enjoyed reading "Seven Months of Boyhood Adventures" under the achives in the attic headline. It was a personal account of what it was like to be alive during such a harsh time. All-in-all i think the website was very interesting to look through it had some very important information that is worth retaining.

I agree with your first sentence to some extent. And I also, like you, appreciated how the "Archives in the Attic" section of the site was focused on a more personal note. Although one can hardly say that the Great Depression was "impersonal", I think it's somewhat difficult for our generation to identify with the hardships that were faced and dealt by those who went through the ordeal.
I loved the Archives in the Attics because it was more than just reading a specific article, it gave you a first hand account of the life. It brought a much more personal sound to it.
