Statement of Purpose
The Avalon Project is dedicated to providing access via the World Wide Web to
primary source materials in the fields of Law, History, Economics, Politics, Diplomacy and
Government. We intend to add value to these primary sources by linking to other documents
expressly referred to in the body of the text. We also intend to provide as many internal
links within a document as are necessary to facilitate study and navigation.
The Project will no doubt contain controversial documents. Their inclusion does
not indicate endorsement of their contents nor sympathy with the ideology, doctrines, or
means employed by their authors. They are included for balance and because in some cases
they are referred to by another document.
Document Selection
Within the fields of Law, History, Economics, Politics, Diplomacy and Government
we select those materials which are of sufficient importance as primary material to be
included. Documents are also included because they are referred to in a document which is
already part of the Project. We also take quite seriously suggestions from our readers and
many documents have been included for that reason
Sometimes it is merely a desire on the part of the people here to learn more
about a particular time period or subject. The
Medieval and Renaissance
documents are an example of that. |
