19th Century Scientific American Online
http://www.history.rochester.edu/Scientific_American

From current writing to past science: 19th Century Scientific American Online contains the contents of the first 15 years of this influential science magazine. In Volume 1 Issue One, from 1845, read about the mole, swallowed by a rattlesnake, that managed to stay alive and gnaw its way out. There's also a report of a floating haystack. On more serious notes, you'll find features on smoke filters for locomotives and the properties of zinc. It's not a particularly well thought out site, requiring lots of clicking to get to the actual meat of each issue. But once you've burrowed down you'll be rewarded with the whole shebang: articles, illustrations and advertisements. There's even a search engine to let you find specific articles. -- Rose Vines

Aardman Animations (Wallace & Gromit)
http://www.aardman.com

Nick Park's fabulous plasticine animations are dissected and chronicled in a number of sites, including Aardman Animations' own site where you'll find a production history of two of the Wallace & Gromit stories, The Wrong Trousers and A Close Shave. The site's a little neglected, so W&G fans may want to wander over to a couple of the unofficial sites which offer sounds, wallpapers, clips and loads of info. You'll find the best at http://rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de/~mfeld/wallace&gromit.html and http://homepages.enterprise.net/kenward/. -- Rose Vines
