calling all historians, architects, archaeologists, etc.

I will be teaching an intro class in historic preservation in SL this fall and will be assigning my students the task of finding historically important places in-world to begin a Second Life Register of Historic Places. this will be good training for RL but a little easier than the National Park Service RL version.
I envision two general types of historically important places:
those unique to SL and important in SL history; and
those which are replicas of historically significant RL places.
I have already collected numerous examples of both.
I also am talking to the USDI National Register folks to encourage USDI participation in SL, especially for their Teaching with Historic Places Program.

I'm a youngster (Dec 07) so i would appreciate any advice, suggestions, etc.

and please suggest sims you think should be considered

i can also be reached in RL at [email]tiopete@zianet.com[/email]
