LINKS
If you are looking for an extensive list of Czech and Slovak internet site links we recommend that you click on the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library (NCSML), in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. NCSML has, perhaps, one of the most comprehensive lists of Czech/Slovak links available, and there is no point in our trying to match that great list. Instead, our list of links is limited to Czech and Slovak organizations which have been directly associated with ACSCC in some way.
