After completing my PhD, I started a website called "The Medieval Index" where I attempted to keep track of any and all websites related to Medieval History I could find. I was able to keep up with it for about a year or so, but I did it in such a way that was labor intensive, and I had to give up once I had a full time job. I kept it up in fits and spurts for a few years after, but finally acknowledged it was dead in 2020. I've regretted that, as it was a good resource. I won't be able to fully recreate it here, but I figured I could slowly rebuild some of it.
Aurelia est la bibliothèque numérique patrimoniale des Médiathèques d’Orléans. Son nom provient d’Aurelianum, le nom romain donné à la ville de Cenabum par l’empereur romain Aurélien au IIIe siècle de notre ère et qui a donné à la ville son nom actuel, Orléans.
On y trouve plus de 40 000 documents numérisés. Les collections sont parmi les plus précieuses et prestigieuses conservées à la médiathèque d'Orléans et constituent une ressource importante de l'histoire régionale depuis le XVe siècle jusqu'au milieu du XXe siècle.
Les œuvres numérisées présentées appartiennent au domaine public. Leur réutilisation est gratuite, à condition de citer leur source.
BrepolsOnline is the platform for all online content published by Brepols in books and journals, across a broad range of humanities disciplines.
British History Online is a collection of nearly 1300 volumes of primary and secondary content relating to British and Irish history, and histories of empire and the British world. BHO also provides access to 40,000 images and 10,000 tiles of historic maps of the British Isles.
The Camelot Project is designed to make available a database of Arthurian texts, images, bibliographies, and basic information. The project, begun in 1995, is sponsored by the University of Rochester and prepared in The Rossell Hope Robbins Library, located in Rush Rhees Library. The Camelot Project has been created by Alan Lupack, Emeritus Director of the Robbins Library, and Barbara Tepa Lupack.
CELT, the Corpus of Electronic Texts, is Ireland's longest running Humanities Computing project. It brings the wealth of Irish literary and historical culture to you on the Internet, for the use and benefit of everyone worldwide. It has a searchable online textbase consisting of over 19 million words, in 1638 contemporary and historical documents from many areas, including literature, medicine, and the other arts.
The site mlat.uzh.ch is a Latin text (meta-)repository and tool under way of development. Users should take into account that some functions do not yet work satisfactorily. This Corpus Córporum is being developed at the University of Zurich under the direction of Philipp Roelli, Institute for Greek and Latin Philology. The project uses exclusively free and open software and is non-commercial.
The last twenty years have witnessed an exponential rise in interest in the crusades and their influences on Western and Eastern cultures. One recently emerging area of interest is the profound influence the crusades have had on European and Middle-Eastern literature. This bibliography (a partner site to the Camelot Project) will provide annotations of narratives that take their influence and inspiration from the historical crusades. The project is currently focused on English and American literature, but our long-term goal is to provide substantial annotated bibliographies and essay-based entries for other European (and eventually Middle-Eastern and Asian) countries as well.
Our hope, in producing such a resource, is to encourage further research and discussion of the Crusades and their effect on literature at all educational levels.
Digital Syriac Corpus is a curated digital repository of TEI encoded texts written in classical Syriac. The interface provides effective browse and search functionality. Use the above search box to perform basic string searches, or browse the corpus by title or by author. The Search Tools button accesses more advanced searches. Individual texts may be downloaded to facilitate publishing projects, such as the production of critical editions, and research, such as more advanced corpus linguistic analysis. We invite users to submit corrections and to contribute digital texts.
The ‘Electronic Sawyer’ presents in searchable and browsable form a revised, updated, and expanded version of Peter Sawyer's Anglo-Saxon Charters: an Annotated List and Bibliography, published by the Royal Historical Society in 1968. Its main content derives from Sawyer’s catalogue, with corrections and modifications, and with additional data collected by Dr Susan Kelly, Dr Rebecca Rushforth, and others. Dr Rushforth was also responsible for the development of the database which lies behind the online version of this catalogue.
What is DM?: an open-source DH platform for open-access workspaces, projects, collaborations, and scholarly publications
The premise of DM is simple: if you have a collection of digital images and texts, then you should be able to develop a project where you can identify specific moments on these images and texts, annotate them as much as you want, link them together, generate searchable content, collaborate with your friends, and publish your work online for others to see and share.
DM was developed on the Heroku cloud-server platform, where installation and administration is straightforward, after which developing individual projects requires no specific IT expertise. Keep scrolling to learn more.

The project's aim was to virtually reconstruct the monastic library of UNESCO-World Heritage Site Abbey Lorsch. More than 300 medieval manuscripts have survived and today they are spread over 73 libraries worldwide. The unification of the Lorsch codices and fragments for the first time makes the Abbey's intellectual foundation, and moreover the Carolingian world picture visible and researchable.
The Virtual Library unites all Lorsch manuscripts in the form of digital reproductions. In addition all codices are complemented by manuscript descriptions, which are researchable in a database set up especially for the project. The Search option in the database provides for the first time a detailed and systematic access to Lorsch's manuscript heritage.
Adriano Cappelli's «Lexicon abbreviaturarum» is one of the most renowned collections of abbreviations. In a very successful crowd sourcing project, Ad fontes (www.adfontes.uzh.ch), an e-learning platform at the University of Zurich, has digitised, systematised and made freely available all 14'357 abbreviations included in the Cappelli. The specifically designed search interface not only allows to search by the readable letters, with the possiblity to set wildcards for non-identifiable characters, but also to search by visual criteria.
The interactive Medieval Murder Maps give unique insight into violence, and justice in late medieval London, York, and Oxford.
