LINKS


RELIGIOUS STUDIES


The following list of links is obviously not intended to be comprehensive, or even well-balanced. It just represents  sites I find useful in research and teaching. In most cases, these sites lead to a lot of other links. Do note that some of these sites have a particular emphasis, so be aware of any biases and special interpretations. By including links here, I am not necessarily endorsing any of the sites, or the groups that operate them.

HISTORY

The History Cooperative provides all sorts of useful links, including to full-text journal resources (Full access may however be reserved for those having access through particular university sites). Particularly good are the American Historical Review and the Journal of American History.

Electronic journals in history and related disciplines.

HNN is a nice source for what historians and the historical profession are up to.

H-NET academic announcements is a useful listing of conferences, calls for papers, etc.  Another source for this kind of material is conference alerts.

Links on the history of Pennsylvania.

Resources on the American West.

A vast collection of historical documents can be found on the Internet through the work of Paul Halsall at Fordham University. There are several separate collections, each impressive in its own right – see for instance the ancient, medieval and modern history collections, plus documents relating to African history, Indian history,  Islamic history, Jewish, and the list goes on. This really is one-stop shopping. Though the emphasis is historical, many of these collections obviously bear heavily on religious studies themes.

The department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic Studies at Cambridge University has links on Dark Age and Early Medieval times.

Victorian Web.
