If you are interested in starting a GIS program at your school, here is
a good white paper to read. It includes a list of funding sources in
one of the appendices.

Subject: [gislist] GIS for education and history instruction
Hi -
Can any of you help point me in the right direction?
I'm doing some initial research on the use of GIS for secondary
education and history instruction.
So far, I've come across TimeMap (www.timemap.net) and the Electronic
Cultural Atlas Initiative (www.ecai.org), but I was wondering if there
were any other resources I should be checking out.
I'd like to know if there's a way for students with minimal training in
interactive mapping to go online and browse through significant events
in world history through a map-based interface. The goal would be to
have a way to tie together disparate animations and interactive maps.
Ideally, the map data would be free, open source, and extensible... as
would the viewer. : ) Thanks, Jeff
