Stories About Influential People

The Peoples Archive is a site filled with stories about the movers and shakers of our time. The categories include science, film, masters, literature, and medicine. The "masters" collection appears to be a bit of a catch-all. Even though there are only two entries, one is for a sculptor and the other is for a watch-maker. This is not a site where you will find the latest big noise from Hollywood or the music industry. Although there is the film category, there are only seven entries, and none of those are the actors. Instead, the category highlights filmmakers and cinematographers. The stories themselves are told by the subjects. You can listen to them via audio files or you can read the transcripts. This is a good way to learn about people who have achieved a great deal in their professions but who don't generally make the headlines. Via Internet Resources Newsletter.
