Project Overview

Visible Proofs Web Site

This companion Web site to an exhibition about the history of forensic medicine helps audiences plan their visit, access all the content from the exhibition, find links to more in-depth resources, and gives educators activities for students.

All of the content from the National Library of Medicine Visible Proofs exhibition is integrated into this site, along with supplemental material for pre- and post-visit reference. Meeting the highest standards of accessibility, the straightforward format and design of the site provides access to significant cases, technologies, and people that have had an impact on the history of forensic medicine. Visitors can take an in-depth look at artifacts and images from the exhibition, while three online activities introduce forensic medicine, anthropology, technology, and history. Designed specifically for students and educators, additional lesson plans provide educators with ready-made resources for the classroom and the online activities promote active learning for students.
