��������������������������� Information on Nobel prizes can be obtained from the Nobel Prize Internet Archive created by Boris Pevzner and Ona Wu, both graduate students in electrical engineering and computer science. Announcements from the Nobel Committee lead to background information on prize-winners and their work. There is also a link to the more recent "official" Nobel Foundation site, which offers text and images of the segment of Alfred Nobel's will that established the prizes. A link to CNN's coverage of the award ceremony in Oslo is included, and a Nobel trivia page is coming soon.
