Online ethnographic representation. Any good examples?

Hi,

I am trying to find good examples of online ethnographic representation. By this I mean sites devoted to a particular ethnographic study, with rich content such as video, photography, sounds, and text. I'm having trouble finding well designed, up to date examples which make use of the variety of online tools available for publishing such material.

The potential to convey anthropological understanding online in a sensory, immersive way is huge. I hope there are some anthropologists publishing work like this out there.

Grateful for you help!

Laura

"Anthropology by the Wire is a multi-media research project on urban and visual anthropology in Baltimore that is part of a National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduates grant at Towson University. In this project, students will be conducting research on neighborhoods in Baltimore utilizing anthropological methods through the lens of a public anthropology with a variety of digital media. A sampling of chronological data in the form of videos, photos, audio, links and text posted to this site represent the outcome and mediation of those endeavors."

I haven't gotten to the level of using a lot of visual aids on my websites, but I've created two text sites that document ethnographic projects:

labikemvmt.org, which is a collaborative history of important moments in the Los Angeles bike movement (my dissertation project was about the idea of bike activists as "human infrastructure" for bicycling there)

seattlebikejustice.com, which has data from interviews with leaders in Seattle's communities of color investigating their thoughts on bikes and public space

And I look to the Asthma Files as a great example of online collaborative ethnography.
