Silk Road Seattle

Overview

From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: Silk Road Seattle is an ongoing public education project using the “Silk Road” theme to explore cultural interaction across Eurasia from the beginning of the Common Era (A. D.) to the 17th Century. It provided materials for learning and teaching about the Silk Road. Much is available here already: historical texts, well illustrated web pages on historic cities and architecture and on traditional culture of the Central Asian nomads, extensive annotated bibliographies of resources, an electronic atlas, and a virtual art exhibit drawing on museum collections from around the world.
