The Independence Hall Association (IHA) was founded in 1942 to spearhead the creation of Independence National Historical Park. During the last several years the IHA has become one of the foremost electronic publishers of American historical material on the Internet. As a significant owner and publisher of Philadelphia and 18th-century American-related content," the Association's new focus on providing information via the World Wide Web is a natural outgrowth of its role as a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization offering information which educates, inspires, and entertains. ...To that end, the IHA has produced high-quality, interactive, well-organized, graphically attractive material for the World Wide Web.... Currently our "congress" of websites includes the Betsy Ross homepage, a 65-stop walking tour of America's "Most Historic Square Mile," the Liberty Bell homepage, 7 walking tours of Philadelphia neighborhoods, biographies on early Americans, a VRML of Independence Hall, the Valley Forge Historical Society site, the Brandywine Battlefield site, the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge site, a town crier component, complete with audio clips capturing the "oyez, oyez" of that trade, and a very auspicious start to an ambitious Virtual Marching Tour of the entire American Revolution."
