Although the Gunpowder Clearinghouse has come to fruition through the efforts of many, most website construction has occurred at Towson University under the supervision of the persons listed below.  It is hoped that this website will continue to grow and improve well into the future.  Sincere thanks is extended to all those who have contributed to the project.

William James Smith, Jr. -- Project Leader
William will complete his MA at Towson University in Geography and Environmental Planning in August, 1999.  He will attend the University of Delaware's Center For Energy and  Environmental Policy to complete his Ph.D. beginning in Fall of 1999.  Research interests include socio-political aspects of drinking water management in the developing world, international affairs, international distance education, planning for the disabled, human rights, national security, natural resource conservation, the role of multi-national organizations in developing countries, water resource management and public health, and the Philippines.  By August, 1999 he will produce a MA thesis that focuses on utilizing GIS and internet technology to enhance public participation in watershed management (based on the Gunpowder experience).  You may contact him at travel@smart.net.
