Reviewed Links:
aka Kurdistan
This brilliantly conceived `place for collective memory and cultural exchange’ is part of Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas’s commitment to the Kurdish people. Highly interactive, this site provides the opportunity to build a collective memory of a dispersed and decimated community who have no national archive. Newly discovered photographs from public and private sources are used to invite identification of people, places and events. Individual Kurds and others are encouraged to add their personal stories about Kurdistan's history and culture, in an expanding record. ‘Finding a photograph is often like picking up a piece from a jigsaw-puzzle box with the cover missing. We have the image, but the history of how it came to be is lost.’

Digital Journalist
Subtitled ‘A Multimedia Magazine for Photojournalism in the Digital Age’, Dirck Halstead’s Digital Journalist is full of thoughtful high quality articles and picture essays on topical issues. It’s archive alone is a rich treasure trove with text, images, taped items and music when relevant.

Morrie Camhi
Morrie Camhi (1928-1999) will be remembered in New Zealand for his `AD:Vantage' exhibition (portraits of people who advertised in the Personal Columns) which was toured by PhotoForum in 1986. And for his inspiring involvement in offset printing/publishing workshop that resulted in the award winning book Ink & Silver (1995). His photo essays include Espejo: Reflections of the Mexican American, The Prison Experience, and Faces and Facets: The Jews of Greece. Sample photographs, extracts from his books, and prints for sale from the Morrie Camhi Trust (at a deliberately and characteristically modest price) can be seen on this Stare web site.

Philip Jones Griffiths: Vietnam Inc.
Interviews and photographs from the outstanding British photojournalist, based on his work in Vietnam in the 1960s and poignant revisits.

Ralph Gibson
One of the most elegant artist’s web sites around. Simply oozes with Gibson’s delight of the book format. One essay allows one to alter which image is juxtaposed with another. So check out your editing skills and the wonderful way in which meaning can change with each pairing of images.

Sebastião Salgado
Concerned photography at its best. This is the site of the Instituto Terra, a non-profit organization created by Sebastião Salgado and his wife, Lelia Wanick Salgado. It features his epic essays, and their inspirational plan to restore Brazil’s decimated Atlantic Forest with its original species and use the project to support an ambitious program of environmental education.
Salgado’s celebrated essays on refugees and migrants, workers, famine, and ecological disasters are well represented. "My hope, he says, “is that, as individuals, as groups, as societies, we can pause and reflect on the human condition at the turn of the millennium. In its rawest form, individualism remains a prescription for catastrophe. We have to create a new regimen of coexistence." His message is still one of optimism in the face of adversity. Major organisations for voluntary work and financial contributions are listed under ‘How to Help’. They include the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Doctors Without Borders, Christian Aid (UK), Greenpeace, Save the Children, and Reporters sans Frontières.

Smithsonian Photography Initiative
The US Smithsonian Photography Initiative is dedicated to promoting the use of Smithsonian photographic resources -roughly 13 million images located in approximately seven hundred collections. The site also includes Enter the Frame, an interactive interface where visitors can browse images from 19 Smithsonian museums.
