Welcome to Crossroads!

Since 1995, the American Studies Crossroads Project has provided a comprehensive and integrated platform for pedagogical, scholarly, and institutional information for the international American Studies community.

As Crossroads celebrates more than a decade of online innovation and collaboration, the Crossroads team has redesigned the site to better reflect the range of resources and information available to students and educators of American Studies. We hope you enjoy the changes.

American Studies Web is Launched

December 15th, 2007

Crossroads has launched the American Studies Web search engine into public beta. ASW is a collaborative search engine where users can find, tag, and add websites and online resources related to American Studies. Search results are weighted based upon the ratings users give, and comments written about them.

American Studies Web is the largest directory of web-based resources in the field of American Studies. First created by David Phillips in 1994, the current directory has evolved over the course of a decade. In 2000, Michael Coventry and Jamie Poster revised and expanded the content and Edward Maloney converted it to a new search interface. Dave Lester programmed the most-recent redevelopment of American Studies Web, with the help of Matthias Oppermann in revising the content.
