This large and complex set of online materials is presented through graphical interfaces, as exemplified by the Plateaus and Canyonlands interactive map. Select a map layer, spot a location that might interest you and click to learn more. Similarly, across the top of the map are eight topic sections; select one and follow your interests. Integrated within the exhibit set are new interactive learning activities for kids and lesson plans for teachers. Also new are a major exhibit on Hinds Cave and a small one on the Honey Creek site. The Hinds Cave exhibit, developed in collaboration with the Department of Anthropology at Texas A&M University, ranks as one of our most extensive site exhibits on TBH -- don't miss the "Explore Hinds Archeology" section. Hinds Cave: www.texasbeyondhistory.net/hinds/ Honey Creek: www.texasbeyondhistory.net/honey/ All of these new online exhibits were underwritten by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Texas Preservation Trust Fund (Texas Historical Commission) and supported by other grants and donations listed in the Credits section of the exhibit set. This new set of TBH exhibits also represent a major collaborative effort -- please see the exhibit credit sections for acknowledgement of the many organizations and individuals who contributed content.
