"A Life of Pasteur: The Manner of Man He Was, and the Results He Accomplished." ​
New
York Times​
22 Feb. 1902: n. pag. Print.
This news article by the New York Times was a more detailed summary of Louis
Pasteur’s life than most of the other articles that we read about him. Unlike the
books that we read or the information that we saw in encyclopedias, newspaper
sources allow us to dive into the world of Pasteur. His immediate legacy was greatly
acknowledged in this article, and we believe that reading newspapers of the time
enabled us to see the impact that he had during his era. It was a credible source
since it was from the New York Times, a credible and trusted newspaper that still
stands today as an epitome of good journalism, and it is a primary source since it
was an article published at that time.
A portrait of young Louis Pasteur. Digital image. ​
Louis Pasteur​
. USF.edu, n.d. Web. 26 Jan.
2015. <http://myweb.usf.edu/~spottack/Early%20life.htm>.
This is a photograph of Louis Pasteur when he was young. It depicts him sitting in a
chair wearing a suit. We used this picture along with information about Pasteur’s
childhood as a visual along with his highschool years. This picture is fairly credible
as it comes from a website dedicated to Louis Pasteur and his life. However, we are
not completely sure it is a credible source since it is not a .org website or an official
collection of Louis Pasteur photographs. Since we have seen similar photographs in
many different websites about Pasteur, we decided this picture was credible as a
primary source of a drawing of Louis Pasteur at a young age.
"Funeral of Pasteur: Last Rites Observed in Cathedral of Notre Dame."​
Boston Evening
Transcript​
5 Oct. 1895: n. pag. Print.
This newspaper article is from the Boston Evening Transcript and is about the
grand funeral procession in honor of Louis Pasteur. We actually learned from the
CEO of Pasteur Institute Korea that Pasteur’s funeral was akin to that of a very
important statesman of France, and since Pasteur was such an inspiring and
influential leader and representation of France’s scientific field, he was given the
great honor of having his funeral procession in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral.
We think that it is always interesting to look at a piece of writing from the time of
Louis Pasteur’s death, because it’s fascinating to see just how influential his life was
to the world. We put this article directly on our website. This source is credible
because it is was published in a newspaper, and it is a primary source from the year
of Pasteur’s death.
Huxley, Thomas H. "Letter from Thomas H. Huxley to the Lord Mayor." Letter to Lord
Mayor. 25 June 1889. MS. Switzerland, Monte Generaso.
This letter by Thomas H. Huxley was addressed to the Lord Mayor in 1889,
containing content on Huxley’s opinions about Pasteur’s legacy. He wrote that Louis
Pasteur’s discoveries had “yielded rich harvest of new truths” and that he believes
that more and more people should support and fund the Pasteur Institute. The mark
of a true leader is one that spreads passion and joy for his field, and Pasteur’s impact
on the community of future chemists and biologists can be seen in Huxley’s letter.
The chief executive of the Korean Pasteur Institute told us that Pasteur had a
countless number of followers willing to go anywhere and spread his legacy, and
this is an example of how Pasteur impacted people by giving them passion about his
work. This source is credible because Thomas Huxley was a well known British
biologist and evolutionist, and it is primary as it was written at the time.

Louis Pasteur: A Religious Man?​
Pasteur Brewing, n.d.
Web. 26 Jan. 2015.
<http://www.pasteurbrewing.com/Articles/life-of-pasteur/louis-pasteur-a-religiou
s-man.html>.
This page contains a photograph of Louis Pasteur in his middle to old age, smiling
slightly and looking off to the side. We used this picture as a portrait picture of
Pasteur in one of the ending pages of our website. It is credible since it is from a
website that we know and trust, after seeing that it is dedicated entirely to Pasteur
and his works, and it is a primary source because it is an image actually taken at the
time.
Louis Pasteur, ​
Investigation Into the Role Attributed to Atmospheric Oxygen Gas in the
Destruction of Animal and Vegetable Substances After Death ​
(n.d.)
This paper that Louis Pasteur wrote contained a lot of information and a few
diagrams on pasteurization, and the development of research that led to the
discovery. The role of oxygen proved to be an extremely important discovery in
leading to the future discoveries of Louis Pasteur, because it shows how living
things like bacteria were able to grow in the presence of oxygen, eventually leading
to his swan-neck flask experiment where he had sterile air in the flask and oxygen
was not allowed to travel in. Since it was a paper written by Pasteur himself, it is no
doubt credible when writing about Pasteur’s research and discoveries. It helped us
understand his thought process.
Louis Pasteur, ​
On the Extension of the Germ Theory to the Etiology of Certain Common
Diseases ​
(1880).
This research paper was also used for our understanding of the relationship
between the germ theory and Pasteur’s vaccinations. Although it was very easy for
us to understand each stage of his life separately, it was a bit difficult for us to
connect his discoveries together. This paper helped us understand how the germ
theory led to Pasteur’s interest in vaccinations, and also was the great discovery of
the time because Pasteur had found how diseases travel, disproved spontaneous
generation, and from this new knowledge found several ways to stop disease. It is
definitely a credible primary source because it was written by Pasteur himself, so
proves an invaluable source for information on Pasteur and our website.
Louis Pasteur, ​
Pasteur’s Communications on Rabies: No. 3 ​
(1882)
This paper was a series of six that Louis Pasteur wrote about his rabies vaccination.
The paper taught us a lot about the process in which Pasteur discovered the vaccine.
We also used a lot of the information here to learn about his lasting legacy, as well as
his personality. This source was also of course a primary source since it was written
by Pasteur at the time, and it was extremely helpful in being able to look at Pasteur’s
research through his eyes, standing in his shoes.
Louis Pasteur, ​
Studies on Fermentation ​
(n.d.)
This paper was another one that we used for our “Fermentation” page. Since Pasteur
carefully documented every single thing he researched and discovered, we were
able to easily gain knowledge on the specifics of his research. This is another reason
why Pasteur was truly such a revolutionary scientists; not only did he make great
discoveries, he also documented them to share with the rest of the world. Like all of
his other papers, this is a credible and useful primary source. Pasteur’s papers were
always a source we could always go back to and depend on, take quotes from, and
also put excerpts of on the website to help the viewer get a better understanding.
Louis Pasteur, ​
The Asymmetry of Naturally Occurring Organic Compounds ​
(1860)
We used this lecture that Louis Pasteur himself gave on his discoveries in the field of
crystallography, his first field of research that fostered his interest in microbiology
and living things at the molecular level. His experiment with tartaric and racemic
acid was his first major accomplishment, and we used his words as a primary source
for the information that we used in our website to give more credibility to our
information and support the arguments we make. This lecture is a credible, primary
source because it was a speech given at the time.
"M. Pasteur in the Rum D'Ulm." ​
The West Australian​
26 Mar. 1886: n. pag. Print.
This is another newspaper article written in honor of the burial of Louis Pasteur. It
showed us how deep of an impact Pasteur had really left in the lives of the French
people. The streets were overflowing with people on the day of Pasteur’s funeral
procession, and this shows how much help he has really done for the people. Even
the poor know they can trust Pasteur and his institute for public health, and this
article goes through the discoveries and research of Pasteur and tells the story of his
entire life, ending by saying Pasteur has spent a life doing good. It is a primary
source as it is an article published in a newspaper at that time period, and it is
credible in looking at the people’s perspective of who Louis Pasteur was; Pasteur as
a man of the people.
"Obsequies of Louis Pasteur." ​
New York Times​
2 Oct. 1895: n. pag. Print.
This was another obituary published celebrating the life of Pasteur. It is shorter than
some of the other obituaries, but the tone is still extremely reverent and thankful
towards Pasteur, showing us that Pasteur was highly respected and people felt a lot
of gratitude for him and his discoveries since he saved so many lives. This source is
a primary source, from the era, and it is from a credible newspaper source as
well--the New York Times, which still stands today. Pasteur’s death was even
making news in American newspapers, showing the extent of his impact.
"Pasteur - The History of a Mind, a Perspective." ​
Pasteur​
. Minst.org, n.d. Web. 26 Jan. 2015.
<​
http://minst.org/pasteur_history_of_a_mind.htm​
>.
This website was an interesting one, written by someone with a doctorate and a
entry in the Mednansky Institute, a .org site proving it is credible as an online
library. This page was entirely about “Pasteur- The History of a Mind”, which was
written by Emile Duclaux, a late member of the first Pasteur Institute. It contains
many diagrams on his work, such as a diagram of yeast drawn by Emile Duclaux
himself, as well as primary source photographs of Pasteur with his children,
conducting research, and more. This source was unique in that it was about a book
that a really close colleague of Pasteur wrote, so we got yet another intimate view of
who Pasteur was as a person.
"Pasteur Dans Son Laboratoire." ​
Histoire Versailles​
. Histoire, n.d. Web. 26 Jan. 2015. A
painting of Pasteur working hard in his laboratory.
We used this painting of Pasteur working hard in his laboratory as our title image
because we felt it summarized nicely in one painting who Pasteur is as a person. He
is shown frowning slightly at a bottle he is holding from his experiment, and this
shows how he was really concerned for the people and made vaccines and set up his
institute to achieve his dream of global public health, especially helping out poor
countries. This painting is a primary source from a collection of historic French
paintings and images.
Pasteur, Louis. 1885. TS 6, Pasteur's Communications on Rabies. N.p.
Pasteur’s Communications on Rabies was a speech that Pasteur wrote about his
revolutionary vaccine that was presented to the French Academy of Sciences on
October 26, 1885.. We personally felt that his contribution towards eliminating the
disastrous effects of the rabies virus was one of his most significant. Since rabies is
such an extreme and bizarre disease, we wanted to learn more about it and through
this speech we hoped the gain a better understanding. We read this report to
understand and try to think in his shoes about the work and experiments that he
conducted. We also gained information on Joseph Meister through this report, who
was also a very significant figure in Pasteur’s work as the first human to be tested on
for the rabies virus. This source is credible because it is firsthand spoken by Pasteur,
and proved an extremely credible and valuable one to learn more about Pasteur.
Pasteur, Louis. 1885. TS 2, Pasteur's Communications on Rabies. N.p.
This is the second volume of the collection of Pasteur’s Communications on Rabies,
performed to the French Academy of Sciences on May 30, 1885. In this report,
Pasteur details the horrifying effects of the rabies virus on the human brain. He
announced the successful results of his rabies vaccine to the Academy. We used his
writing to learn background information about the technology at the time and the
rabies virus. This series of Pasteur’s Communications proved very useful in learning
about the mindset of the time as well as how Pasteur managed to research in spite
of some disapproving views, who thought Pasteur was a crazy man researching
something that did not exist. It is written by Pasteur so it is credible and a primary
source.
Pasteur, Louis. "Germ Theory And Its Applications to Medicine And Surgery." French
Academy of Sciences. France. 19 Feb. 2015. Speech.
Louis Pasteur’s speech on the germ theory was addressed to the French Academy of
Sciences on April 29th, 1878. His speech contains information on the newly
discovered germ theory and the ways in which it can be applied to performing
better surgeries and improving the field of medicine. We used quotes from his
speech for our website, and we also used the primary information to get a better
understanding of the research that Pasteur conducted. Pasteur’s speech and his
findings revolutionized hygiene in hospitals and surgery rooms. This is a credible
source because it is composed of Pasteur’s own words and writing--it is his actual
speech given.
Pasteur, Louis. "On the Extensions of the Germ Theory to the Etiology of Certain Common
Diseases." French Academy of Sciences. France. 25 Jan. 2015. Reading.
This research paper by Louis Pasteur helped us understand the connection and
relationship between Pasteur’s research on the germ theory and the way he
implemented it to revolutionize the practice of vaccines. This is a very detailed
report that was presented to the French Academy of Sciences, and it describes the
observations that Pasteur made for each ailment that he studied. We used some of
the findings that he discusses in this report for our website. The meticulous writing
of this report also allowed us to see how passionate and dedicated he was towards
his work, and like all of his other papers, it is credible, primary, and was very useful
in understanding the processes Pasteur went through.
Pasteur, Louis. "Open Letter to Robert Koch." Letter to Robert Koch. 25 Dec. 1882. MS.
France, n.p.
Unlike most of the primary sources that we used, this primary source was not a
report, but a letter. It contains a conversation between Pasteur and his another
scientist at that time, Robert Koch, who discovered the germ that caused the anthrax
disease but did not know the microbe was the actual cause of the disease. We
included this letter to show Pasteur’s studious personality and the polite
professional relationship he had with his peers, not only his work. In this letter,
Pasteur refutes Koch’s attacks on his works, focusing mainly on the truth and
significance of his Germ Theory and how diseases were airborne, causing his works
to be important. Since this is something Pasteur hand wrote, it is definitely a
credible primary source, and we included the full letter in our website when
discussing immunology.
Pasteur, Louis. ​
Reflections on My Life​
. N.d. Personal Report.
This piece of writing was crucial when we started writing our concluding
statements about Louis Pasteur. This report sounded more like a diary entry than an
official research paper, and it was very interesting for us to read about Louis
Pasteur’s reflections and thoughts on his own achievements. While we had read
countless papers detailing his research and work, we never got to hear Pasteur’s
emotional say on his life. His humble and modest personality is shown throughout
the piece. We linked the entire paper on our website because we thought it was one
of the most telling and informative works by Pasteur; the side of Pasteur as a human
being, not a dedicated scientist who knew nothing but his work. His legacy is clearly
reflected in the words that he wrote. It is definitely a primary source, and credible in
learning Pasteur’s thoughts.
Pasteur, Louis. ​
Studies on Fermentation​
. Rep. Paris: n.p., 1876. Pasteur Brewing, 25 Aug.
2009. Web. 7 Feb. 2015.
Louis Pasteur wrote this report about his research on fermentation. He summarized
the the procedure that he followed to study the process of fermentation. Although
this report wasn’t as detailed as the others that we read, it did give a clearer and
more concise image of Pasteur’s works. Every time we read another work of his, it
made Pasteur seem even more inspiring than before. We learned about how his
inspiration stemmed from the passion and love of his work.
Pasteur, Louis. "The Asymmetry of Naturally Occurring Organic Compounds." Chemical
Society of Paris. France, Paris. 24 Apr. 2015. Lecture.
Louis Pasteur addressed his lecture on crystallography and stereochemistry to the
Chemical Society of Paris on January 20th and February 3rd in 1860. In this lecture,
Pasteur describes his findings from his observations on tartaric and racemic acid
crystals. We used direct quotes from this lecture and chunks of text on our website
to show Pasteur’s exact words. The founding of the field of stereochemistry was
Pasteur’s first major achievement, and was the basis of many following discoveries
that he would make. Lectures are definitely primary sources as they are given at the
time.
Pasteur, Louis. ​
The Attenuation of the Casual Agent of Fowl Cholera​
. Working paper. N.p.:
n.p., 1880. ​
Pasteur Brewing​
. Brendon Barnett. Web. 12 May 2015.
Louis Pasteur wrote this report on chicken cholera. He detailed the conclusions that
he made after he conducted his research and he wrote about the process of his
experiments. We used an actual page of his conclusions in our website to illustrate
the amount of effort and dedication that Pasteur put into his works to create the
first ​
en masse ​
vaccines. This was another report that we used to gain a clearer
image of Pasteur as a person, and we took many of his works into account when we
were writing the concluding statements of our website. This report is credible since
it is written by Pasteur himself, and we wanted to have the audience follow along
with Pasteur’s thought process.

We used this painting of Louis Pasteur's mother, painted by Pasteur himself, when
describing his artistic talents as a child under the "Interest in Art" tab. This painting
proved to be important because it proved that Pasteur really did have an interest in
art, supporting our information, and also showing the extent of Pasteur’s talents.
Although you can describe someone’s talents, in the case of art, having a visual like
this is extremely helpful. This is a credible source because it is from a digital library,
and it is primary since Pasteur painted it himself at a young age.

This journal article by German Sims Woodhead is a basic biography of Louis
Pasteur’s life. Originally published in the Journal of Pathology and Bacteriology,
Woodhead describes the impact of Pasteur’s experiments and the main events in his
life. We used this resource as a guide when we were first creating our website. We
were unsure of which areas to focus on and how to separate the information into
organized pages, but the step-by-step, chronological sequence of this article allowed
us to quickly skim through the main discoveries that Pasteur made. This source is
credible because it was published just a year after Pasteur’s death, in a famous and
recognized medical journal.

The Pasteur Brewing website that is solely dedicated to Louis Pasteur and his works
had a tab for experiments that Louis Pasteur conducted. Although Pasteur’s own
research papers provided the most credible and detailed information, these sources
at Pasteur Brewing proved also to be useful because they went through and
explained and analyzed the processes that Pasteur had conducted. Also, while the
papers Pasteur wrote were kind of hard to read because they are written in old
French and translated into old English, we could easily process the information on
these pages. This site helped us better understand Pasteur’s swan neck flask
experiment, spontaneous generation, and brewing beer. We believe this source is
credible because it is from a site with so many article about Pasteur that seem to be
the result of a lot of careful research over time. This website also contains many
pictures, videos, papers, and speeches showing how it can be trusted because it uses
many sources in its information.

This page on the site Pasteur Brewing was the perfect balance between too much
and too little detail. It listed all of his discoveries and gave a two paragraph
explanation of it, touching on the science portion a bit but not going deep into the
chemistry. Because it was so conveniently divided into categories and the perfect
reading level for us, it inspired a lot of the writing on our website and also how we
organized our website. The timeline on this page was also extremely useful and
inspirational in the timeline we made of Louis Pasteur’s life ourselves. Because this
entire website “Pasteur Brewing” was dedicated to Pasteur, we found many articles
useful and descriptive enough to be able to use for information on our website. The
page even linked to other biographies of Pasteur at the bottom, helping us to further
our research. This page is also credible because the website shows an in-depth
knowledge of Pasteur and a collection of his works, showing it is trustable.

This site, “About.com”, was used for the most basic information to help us
understand better, for background context information. In this case, where we
looked at the “history of antibiotics” as well as a list of the history of medical
discoveries, the site was useful in our “Medical Progress of the Era” page because it
broke down history in simple language for everyone to understand. While we had
much more credible sources like Encyclopedias, they were very hard to understand
too much, and it gave too much information on one topic, so this simplified history
of the medical discoveries proved useful in getting our thoughts organized and
served an appropriate purpose in creating a timeline. Although this source may not
be very credible, it was still useful for us in helping us to understand and be able to
conduct research off the information we saw here.

The author of this page, Mary Bellis, also was the author of another page we used
that was on medical inventions over the ages. We figured the author of this page
does a lot of writing on researchers of this area of study, and we found her title is
“Inventor Expert”. We realize that is not actually her job or title, but we felt it at gave
her a bit more credibility because she wrote many similar articles. This page did not
have a lot of information, but still proved useful because we used the images in the
pages of Pasteur’s research, and we tried to mimic the writing style to be brief so
that we could convey a lot of information without actually saying a lot.

We used about.com inventors to get a short biography on Louis Pasteur. The
information was extremely brief, but when we used this source to first help choose
our topic of Louis Pasteur. We were originally going to do Edward Jenner, but
decided to do Louis Pasteur, and we read pages like this of a short biography of
Pasteur to make the decision. Whereas we had other encyclopedia sources with
pages and pages of information, this short biography helped us to organize the loads
of information we had into a timeline of his life. We know that about.com is not a
completely credible source, because it is used for entertainment too, so we made
sure to double check all information given in this website. However, since this
information was so basic, we in fact branched out from the information given on this
page and were able to find specific articles.

Louis Pasteur: The Scientist Who Discovered the Cause of Infectious
Disease and Invented Pasteurization​
. Milwaukee: G. Stevens, 1989. Print.
This was a wonderfully informative book that described all of the sections of our
research. We continuously referenced back to this book while we made our website.
Since the book was specifically about Pasteur, everything related back to him and
was either useful to add to our website or to just help us understand. This book was
especially helpful because it included many quotes from Pasteur as well as his
coworkers, as well as little text boxes off to the side that included insightful
comments and additional information that we could not find in other books. As a
print source, we liked to use this source much more than online sources because it
was dependable and was a collection of all quotes, information, and pictures. This
book also had the most details out of all the print sources we had, and was
extremely credible because it got its information from a variety of sources.

This Encyclopedia was a collection for both topics and related entries from other
reliable sources, like from other magazines and newspapers. This Encyclopedia had
entries on searches like “fermentation” and “pasteurization” with a lot of
information, from the definition to how the fermented foods are used and the types
of yeast used in the fermentation. The encyclopedia gave very detailed information,
and a lot of it, so we used this encyclopedia to find various articles we could use for
background information. Since we did not learn chemistry in school yet, we used
this Encyclopedia to understand alcoholic fermentation better and for more base
information. This encyclopedia was credible as it is from the HighBeam Research
Incorporation, which is a company that focuses just on helping people find sources
that are directly related to their search and credible as well. Also, since the
Encyclopedia is a mix of sources, the information is more credible since it is double
checked by a variety of sources.

This book was very well-organized, so it was easy to categorize all the information
into the tabs that we put for our website. That helped searching for information very
easy--whereas online sources gave a whole bunch of information that wasn’t
necessarily what we were looking for, this book was very easy to navigate and find
what we wanted to learn more about. This book had many great quotes from not
only Louis Pasteur, but his peers as well. Learning what his peers thought of him
helped us know Pasteur more as a person, not just a researcher who made
discoveries. The information in this book was credible and easy to understand, so
we used this book a lot in our research. We also used this book as inspiration for
some of the photos that we used. As a print source from our school library, we were
also able to be more dependent on it, as we were sure it was a credible source
written after lots of research.

This was another encyclopedia.com article, and it provided information on the
molecular chemistry behind the works of Pasteur’s discoveries since it was from an
encyclopedia called “Chemistry: Foundations and Applications.” From this source,
we not only learned the details of the scientific processes behind his research, but
we also learned how much of an impact Louis Pasteur had on chemistry. Usually
when you think of Pasteur, you think of him as maybe a doctor, as he created
vaccines, or a biologist because he studied diseases of animals, but not so much a
chemist. However, in all of his experiments, although he did not really know much
about it, there was molecular chemistry going on, and this source explained all of it.
We used this information mainly on our “Crystallography” page that dealt with the
molecular structures of living and non-living things. This source is definitely
credible as it is from Encyclopedia.com, which is a collection of articles and
encyclopedias from verified sources. Since it is information from a variety of
sources, it is double and triple checked and is trustable.
"Institut Pasteur." ​
Institut Pasteur​
. The Pasteur Institute, n.d. Web. 26 Jan. 2015.
<http://www.pasteur.fr/en>.
This is the official page of the Pasteur Institute, and included lots of scientific
information, including what the institution was up to these days as well as what
kind of work Pasteur had done before, and the mission of the institution. This site
was extremely important to us because we wanted to learn more about Pasteur’s
Institute and how it carried on his legacy today. We found through this source that
Pasteur had set up institutes all around the world to continue research on things
that you cannot see with your bare eyes that he first started. After looking at this
website, we realized Pasteur’s impact is visible everywhere, because although we
did not know it before, the Pasteur Institute is a big organization that partners with
many NGO’s to help developing countries. This website is where we learned there is
a Pasteur’s Institute in Korea and attempted to contact them. We used this website
as a valuable resource in getting information about the Pasteur Institute since it is
the most credible in knowing what kind of work it will do.
"Institut Pasteur Korea." ​
Institut Pasteur Korea​
. Institut Pasteur, n.d. Web. 18 May 2015.
<http://www.ip-korea.org/>.
This is the website for Institute Pasteur Korea, specific to the work the Korea branch
does. This was an extremely important site to us, because this was where we found
the phone number of a worker at this institute, was able to contact them and explain
our situation, and get invited to an interview with the chief executive because he
had looked through our website and was impressed with the work we had done. We
were able to hear in person about the work Institute Pasteur Korea has done, and
even look through the laboratories, but this website was what got us there. The
website also had some information about the legacy of Pasteur, and we think this
website is extremely credible about Pasteur because it is a branch of the Institute
Pasteur that Pasteur himself created, so they would know the best about Pasteur's
works.

This whole website was a product of the family members of Pasteur, who created
this site to connect with one another and collect articles and primary sources
related to Louis Pasteur. This site was extremely useful in collecting primary
sources such as photographs as well as information about Pasteur’s family, since it
was all about the Pasteur family tree. We used this information under the the
background information of Pasteur and his childhood. We believe this source is
credible in the type of information it gives, information about his family, because it
is allegedly an association of the family members of Pasteur. The objective of the
website says that it is to “bring together all those who bear the Pasteur patronymic
so as to encourage the promotion, development, and popularization of the history
and the genealogy of the Pasteur families throughout the world,” so we trust the
website would have some primary sources and information unavailable in normal
biographies.

Although everyone knows that wikipedia is not a credible source, we learned in
history class that Wikipedia was useful for background information, as well as a hub
for other sources that had credible information on the topic listed in footnotes at the
bottom of the article. We used wikipedia in the very beginning of our research, to
help foster an interest in this topic and also get a general idea of our topic.
Wikipedia was also useful for background knowledge because it has the correct
basic outline, just not necessarily all of the details. Wikipedia helped us understand
the whole picture before we started building our website.
"Louis Pasteur Biography and Timeline." ​
Louis Pasteur​
. Pasteur Brewing, n.d. Web. 26 Jan.
2015. <http://www.pasteurbrewing.com/>.
This website is credible because there were either works directly written by Louis
Pasteur, or articles describing the works of Louis Pasteur that were backed up with
plenty of information. This website proved to be one of the most valuable websites
we found during the course of our research, because it had a gallery of primary
sources of different pictures related to Louis Pasteur, like his discoveries, family,
comics, bills, writing, and so on. There were also articles on his works, and a
timeline as well. This website was well constructed with easy to reach, well
organized, high quality information and was extremely helpful in obtaining
information, especially primary sources, for many of the pages on our website.

(January 26, 2015).
http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3436200215.html​
.
The page on “nutrition and well-being” on encyclopedia.com about Louis Pasteur
had information on the biological illnesses that Pasteur was able to find vaccines
and cures for. Like other encyclopedia.com articles, the information was extremely
in-depth and of good quality, since it was from a variety of sources and checked by
encyclopedia.com. We looked at this page when we were curious about looking
deeper into what illnesses he found vaccines for; what the symptoms were; how he
went through the process to develop the vaccine, and so on. Whenever we had
questions that did not come easily from regular internet searches, we looked at this
source because we knew it was pretty credible and extremely detailed.

This was an article from the Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography, an
Encyclopedia inside the website Encyclopedia.com, which is like a huge collection of
resources from a variety of resources that lets you search and immediately find
articles and topics that are related from credible sources. This particular article
from Encylopedia.com was extremely, extremely long, containing enough
information to be in a short book, but was very helpful in researching Louis
Pasteur’s life and works. Many other secondary sources we used gave a biography of
Louis Pasteur’s work in a page or less, but this source took care and spent around a
page explaining something that other sources simplified in a sentence. We
referenced back to this source a lot to double check facts and plan how to map out
our website because it listed his life and achievements in chronological order, so we
were able to understand how his discoveries all linked to each other. This source is
definitely credible because it is a resource by HighBeam Research Incorporation,
and on it “About Us” page, it says it provides reference from credible, published
sources like Oxford University Press and Columbia Encyclopedia. However, one
problem we had with this source is the overload of information--there was too much
it was sometimes hard to find what we were looking for, and also this source was
written in above high-school level language, with a lot of scientific jargon.

World of Microbiology and Immunology​

http://www.encyclopedia.com​
>.
This article was credible because it was from an encyclopedia of the World of
Microbiology and Immunology that was under encyclopedia.com, a source that used
a variety of sources that were credible like the Oxford dictionary. We used this
source for a lot of our secondary source information since it contained information
on his works, as well as his overall life; it had the most information out of all of our
sources. Encyclopedia.com had different entries related to Louis Pasteur, but on
different encyclopedias, and we felt this one was particularly important because
Pasteur is known as “the father of microbiology”. It was also very helpful for support
and background information on all of the topics we covered on the website since
there was such a broad coverage of information.
Rhee, SeungYon. "Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)." ​
Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)​
.
Accessexcellence.org, n.d. Web. 25 Jan. 2015.
<http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/AB/BC/Louis_Pasteur.php>.
We believe this source is credible because it is an educational site, ending in ".org".
This site provided a biography of Louis Pasteur in a different perspective than most
of the other biographies we had read. It took a more scientific and unbiased point of
view than the other biographies we had read, some of which seemed to glorify
Pasteur rather than just report the facts, especially some French sites which bragged
Pasteur as a national treasure. The unbiased nature of this source made it valuable,
and it gave a lot of useful details on the process of Pasteur's research that led to his
discoveries, which was extremely useful under the "discoveries" tab.
Robinson, Richard. "Pasteur, Louis." ​
Biology​
. 2002. ​
Encyclopedia.com.​
26 Jan. 2015
<​
http://www.encyclopedia.com​
>.
The biology encyclopedia, another encyclopedia that was a part of the series of
encyclopedias on the site encyclopedia.com, provided very scientific descriptions on
the on this website particularly for the “immunization and vaccinations” page of our
website. Again, like all the other encyclopedias, the detailed information proved
crucial to not only the background knowledge, since the encyclopedias covered such
a wide variety of information, but also the detailed processes in the steps Louis
Pasteur took in his discoveries. It was very interesting to see the different impacts
Louis Pasteur had on all these different areas of study with the different
encyclopedias we got information from. For example, the entry about Pasteur in this
source, the Biology encyclopedia, was very different from the entry in the Chemistry
encyclopedia. It helped us realize just how large the scope and impact of Pasteur’s
works were.
"Story of the Institut Pasteur." ​
Institut Pasteur​
. The Pasteur Institute, 13 Feb. 2014. Web. 26
Jan. 2015.
<http://www.pasteur.fr/en/institut-pasteur/history/story-institut-pasteur>.
This site was a page off the official website of The Pasteur Institute, and so had the
most credible information about Pasteur, his works, his achievements, his
institution, and its mission. It could be slightly biased since it is his institution and so
it will obviously try to portray him in a positive light, but we think it still served to
give valuable information for Pasteur's discoveries and legacy. This certain page of
the official website talked about the Institute itself and how it has developed over
the years, from when Pasteur first set it up to the research it is doing now. This page
talks about the global mission of the Pasteur Institute, and this was very interesting
because when we interviewed the chief executive of the Institute Pasteur Korea, he
also talked about the mission for global health.
Tames, Richard. ​
Louis Pasteur​
. New York: F. Watts, 1990. Print.
This book, although short compared to the rest of our books, was very useful in
getting a general idea of Louis Pasteur's life. Because it was short and brief, it was
that much easier to quickly read and develop a whole understanding of Pasteur’s
works from beginning to end and how it relates to us today. We used this
information as a foundation for our more in-depth research. Since it is a print source
that we found in our school library, we trust that it is a credible source. Also, books
written about Louis Pasteur tended to have a citation page at the very end, so we
were also be able to conduct research branching off into the sources we saw listed
there.
The Story of Louis Pasteur​
. Dir. William Dieterle. Warner Bros Pictures, 1935.
This was a movie made about the life of Louis Pasteur, and although we did not
actually use the film in our website, the film gave us an idea of the historical
background of Louis Pasteur as well as how he conducted his research and his
personality. Although we did not directly use this film in our research, the film
helped us gain a deeper understanding of who Pasteur really was as a person, even
his personality, and this helped us to better understand the cold hard factual
research we did about him and his discoveries. It was only when we understood his
true passion for this field of research and how dedicated he was, that we could also
truly understand his countless discoveries and his motives for researching so hard.
We believe this source is credible because it is made by Warner Bros, a movie
company that is famous and accredited. Also, it is a biography sort of movie, so the
filmmakers researched a lot about Pasteur to make this movie.

<​
http://global.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/445964/Louis-Pasteur​
>.
This source was very credible since it was from the online encyclopedia britannica,
and encyclopedia known for being credible and containing a lot of valuable
information. From this source, we obtained primary sources (pictures) as well as
information that was detailed but not too hard to understand; not too scientific. This
page proved to be resourceful in describing Pasteur's contributions to science,
technology, and medicine, and we used this source mostly on the pages under our
"discoveries" tab.
