The fluidity of historical representation on the Web is a welcome evolution to the assassination discourse. The static, closed text no longer satisfies the need of its audience. The audience for this subject cannot be neatly excluded from “traditional” schools of thought; it is a topic of mass, cultural importance. The effort to create an electronic corpus that invites collaboration from users, whether they be academic contributions or citizen concerns, in the form of bulletin/message boards, guest books, email is an encouraging development. The direction of contribution is guided toward uncovering and sharing knowledge. Ultimately the coverage is a simultaneously pedagogic and analytic experience.
