Site Structure “Shadow” Site The information published on the Agrarian Studies web site is duplicated on a “shadow,” text-only, site. Crossover between the two versions can be made from their respective “front doors,” or home pages. Their URLs are: Graphics version front door: http://www.yale.edu/agrarianstudies/real/ashome.html Text version front door: http://www.yale.edu/agrarianstudies/shadow/ashome.html Most topics on this site are contained within a single, sometimes longish, page, so that the viewer can easily save or print complete information from a web browser.
