In 2000 the Virtualology.com
Project was launched as thousands of educational web sites setting
aside the ".com" names of exceptional individuals for student publishing.
Although the concept was embraced by educators all over the nation for
historical figures (please visit jamesmonroe.org) the field of music, for
various reasons, attracted minimal student participation. For that reason
over the last several years, despite being offered substantial amounts of money
for many of the ".com" names, The Virtualology Project
either donated the urls to non-profit educational institutions or allowed
them to expire. In 2004 The Virtualology Project was
discontinued but the concept continues on the web for student and now
educational publishing at several hundred historical urls (susanbanthony.net,
george-washington.org, declarationofindependence.info ...) that all converge
together at StanKlos.com.
