This website provides an in-depth insight into the material items of Clara Barton's life, her dedication and energies to help others in times of need - both home and abroad, in peacetime as well as during military emergencies.

I decided to include this gallery because I believe they will be of good use for images of Clara and an understanding through the timeline. Due to the fact that I selected this portion of the website for the images solely, it does not need to meet the UTA library research guidelines necessarily. The images are also equipped with a detailed caption underneath that gives perspective to the images and to the reader.
I included this website because it provides great insight into the locations that are often mentioned with Clara Barton's history. The locations are significant throughout Barton's story, from her birthplace to the first established Red Cross facility. This site does a good job of providing those details. Because I chose this website solely for the purpose of its images, it does not need to meet the requirements of the UTA library guide for good research quality websites.
