Every ship has a builder. This Great Voyages web site does as well. The master of this web site wishes to heartily thank the builders.

This Great Voyages web site project began in June 1995 under the auspices of a grant from Joy Hughes, the Vice Provost for Information Services at Oregon State University. It was created by a team of wonderful people.

• Jon Dorbolo, Research Assistant Professor in Philosophy, offered an inspirational model and much good advice before, during and after a series of summer seminars about the design and use of web sites which were organized by Norma Nielson and funded by the Vice Provost for Information Services.
• Patti Hoagland and Bill Lanham, graphic artists at the Communications Media Center helped in the design of the web site and Patti Hoagland created the graphics.
• Trevor Murphy of the Faculty Development Lab at the Communications Media Center, along with his partner Greg Klein helped with many aspects of the site, including image maps, readability, scanning of images, and over all design.
• John Sechrest, (the Wizard) executive director of the computer science outreach service, provided much excellent advice, both technical and non-technical.
• Richard Mallery and Susan Prock created most of the time lines of philosophers. Their work was made possible by grants from the OSU Philosophy Department and the Difference, Power and Discrimination Program respectively.
• Mark Dinsmore installed a Glimpse search engine allowing for electronic exploration of many texts of the era, Summer 1996.
