Meeting of Frontiers is a bilingual, multimedia English-Russian digital library that tells the story of the American exploration and settlement of the West, the parallel exploration and settlement of Siberia and the Russian Far East, and the meeting of the Russian-American frontier in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. The site operates on three levels. "First, it provides an overview of the historical experience of the frontier in Russia and America through six narrative sections [...] Each of these sections includes images that illustrate major events and themes, a bibliography with suggestions for further reading, and links to other web sites with related content. Second, within each narrative section there are several modules that present in greater depth themes relevant to that section. These modules contain many more images and additional explanatory text. They highlight both the similarities and the differences in the American and Russian frontier experiences. Third, Meeting of Frontiers contains complete or substantial parts of more than twenty collections that have been selected for digitizing because of their relevance to the American West and Siberia and the Russian Far East."
