There is also a photo gallery. A complete master index to this site's contents is available."

Specialized Search Engines
Until recently three specialized search engines in philosophy were found in Hippias, Noesis and Episteme. In 2006, Hippias was merged with Noesis. Noesis or Philosophical Research Online has its own search engine that can be limited to areas such as journals, primary texts, and Web sites. Episteme is a portal page that links to multiple philosophical areas, e.g., philosophers, e-texts, organizations, images, and more.
"Noesis a limited area search engine for open access, academic philosophy on the Internet."
"Episteme Links includes over 19,000 categorized links to philosophy resources on the Internet and has several additional features. Online since early 1997 ... Begin browsing the site by using the Philosophers or Topics links below, or by using the link category or special feature links below" (EpistemeLinks Web site)
Librarian's Comment: The Perseus Project includes several of its own search engines that provide access to information not covered by Hippias, including standard Greek editions of works by Plato and Aristotle.
