Celtic Inscribed Stones Project
CISP is undertaking a collaborative, interdisciplinary study of Medieval Celtic inscriptions. One of its main objectives is the compilation of an accessible, comprehensive and authoritative database of all known inscriptions. By bringing this material together in one place and making it readily available our goal is to turn what is a largely untapped resource into usable material. The scope of the project is the Celtic-speaking regions of the early middle ages, (Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and parts of western England, in the period approximately AD 400-1100). Included are all stone monuments inscribed with text, whether in the Celtic vernacular or Latin, in the Roman alphabet or ogham (but excluding runic inscriptions). This site and database are easy to use, with plenty of explanatory material and even a downloadable PDF manual for more detailed information on the database. It is possible to browse indexes of the sites of stones, the names of the stones, indexes of the personal names mentioned in inscriptions and maps of the sites. The database also allows inscription (and more complex) searches. In general this is a very useful site; users should note however, that the site is no longer maintained, as the project is completed.

Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture
The Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Stone Sculpture (CASSS) is a project to identify, record and publish in a consistent format, the earliest English sculpture dating from the 7th to the 11th centuries. Much of this material was unpublished before the work began, but it is of crucial importance as it points to the earliest settlements and artistic achievements of the Anglo-Saxon/Pre-Norman English. It ranges from our earliest Christian field monuments (free-standing carved crosses), to innovative decorative elements and furnishings of churches, to humble grave-markers. This site contains a searchable database of sculpture records and images of the sculptures which are organised by the published volumes. There are, as yet, no direct weblinks between the records and the images, so each needs to be found separately, and the database is initially confusing for the casual user. There is also a very useful 'Grammar of Anglo-Saxon Ornament', which explains how the sculptures are classified and made. In summary, while the design and layout of the website is not perfect, the content is extremely useful.

Rete Vitae Religiosae Mediaevalis Studia Conectens
The international research in the field of medieval monasteries and religious orders is hard to grasp, particularly since it is scattered in many individual research centres. It is difficult to focus even on a specific order, and this in spite of the fact that a comparative approach towards the history of medieval religious orders is still a desideratum even in modern research. With RE.VI.RE.S we hope to provide a helpful tool to solve this problem.

TRADITIO: Studies in Ancient and Medieval Thought, History and Religion
Website of Traditio, journal for medieval studies produced by Fordham University. Has links to full-text articles, organized geographically and chronologically.

Troubadours, Trouveres and the Crusades 
The crusades have left a profound and disturbing legacy in inter-cultural and inter-faith relations nationally and worldwide. They continue to be of compelling interest and relevance to students, scholars and the wider public, with crusading rhetoric alive in the global political discourse transmitted daily in the media. A four-year Anglo-Italian project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of the UK, will allow academic researchers and teachers, school-teachers, students, and any interested member of the general public to access and exploit original source material. Some 200 texts will be made freely accessible and downloadable online in high-quality editions, and will be translated into both English and Italian.

Babel Working Group
The BABEL Working Group is a non-hierarchical scholarly collective and post-institutional desiring-assemblage with no leaders or followers, no top and no bottom, and only a middle. Membership in the BWG carries with it no fees, no obligations, and no hassles, and accrues to its members all the symbolic capital they need for whatever meanings they require. BABEL's chief commitment is the cultivation of a more mindful being-together with others who work alongside us in the ruined towers of the post-historical university. BABEL roams and stalks these ruins as a multiplicity, a pack, not of subjects but of singularities without identity or unity, looking for other roaming packs and multiplicities with which to cohabit and build glittering misfit heterotopias. More conventionally, the BABEL Working Group, founded in 2004, is a collective and desiring-assemblage of scholars (primarily medievalists, but also persons working in other areas, such as early modern and Victorian studies, critical and cultural theory, film and women's studies, new media studies, critical sexuality studies, and so on) in North America, the U.K., Australia, and beyond who are working to develop new cross-disciplinary alliances between the humanities, sciences, social sciences, and the fine arts in order to formulate and practice new critical humanisms, as well as to develop a more present-minded medieval studies, a more historically-minded cultural studies, and a new misfit multiversity.

Material Collective
The Material Collective is dedicated to fostering respectful intellectual exchange and innovative scholarship in the study of the visual arts, in the academy, and in the broader, public sphere, with the belief that excellent scholarship can grow out of collaboration, experimentation, and play. The Material Collective works to create spaces where scholars from many different backgrounds, both traditional and non-traditional, can come together for mutual enrichment. By encouraging work that explores new modes of thinking about art and culture while recognizing the many insights of the past, scholarship can celebrate its relationship with contemporary society, while fostering concerns with the ethical and moral challenges of the present day, even as it seeks to shed light on the past.

MEARCSTAPA (Monsters: The Experimental Association for the Research of Cryptozoology through Scholarly Theory and Practical Application)
MEARCSTAPA is an organization committed to the scholarly examination of monstrosity as an area of social and cultural interest to past and present societies. Our inter/trans/post/pre-disciplinary approach allows us to explore the significance of monstrosity across cultural, temporal, and geographic boundaries. We are interested in a multivalent approach using materials on monsters and monstrosity from literary, artistic, philosophical, and historical sources.

Thesaurus Musicarum Latinarum
An evolving database of the entire corpus of Latin music theory written during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

City Witness: Medieval Swansea
A thriving port, a marcher base for the lords of Gower, and a multi-cultural urban community, Swansea was an important centre in the Middle Ages, comparable with many other historic European towns. Yet the medieval legacy of Swansea is almost invisible today. This project aims to further our understanding of medieval Swansea, to forge connections between the modern city and its medieval antecedent, and through digital mapping and textual analysis to reveal how medieval individuals from different cultural and ethnic communities understood and represented their town.

Digital Mappaemundi
DM is an environment for the study and annotation of images and texts. It is a suite of tools, enabling scholars to gather and organize the evidence necessary to support arguments based in digitized resources. DM enables users to mark fragments of interest in manuscripts, print materials, photographs, etc. and provide commentary on these resources and the relationships among them. A principle objective of this project is to continue to develop our understanding of scholarly work processes in order to effectively support research as it is practised now, while opening the door for new methods of scholarship to emerge.

Forests and Chases of England and Wales c. 1000 to c. 1850
The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of, and excite interest in, the proposal to conduct systematic groundwork towards a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary investigation of the medieval and post-medieval spatial, temporal, functional, and cultural survival and significance of the Forests and Chases of England and Wales. Data exists in documents, maps and plans, literature, and fieldwork.

Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names
The TGN is a structured vocabulary currently containing around 1,102,000 names and other information about places. Names for a place may include names in the vernacular language, English, other languages, historical names, and in natural order and inverted order.

The Global Middle Ages
This is the website of three ambitious initiatives: the Global Middle Ages Project (GMAP, pronounced "g-map"), the Mappamundi cybernetic initiative ("mappamundi" = "map of the world"), and the Scholarly Community for the Globalization of the Middle Ages (SCGMA, pronounced "sigma"). Each initiative brings together a cluster of scholars, universities, institutes, and centers who are working toward the goal of transforming how we see and understand the world across macrohistorical time: a thousand years of history, literature, technology, cultural encounters and crossings, ideas, movement, and change. The gmap site is concerned with the details of the pedagogical project 'The Global Middle Ages', mappamundi aims to gather and coordinate the best of online/digital projects scattered across the web and SCGMA is an online site for the scholarly community for the globalization of the Middle Ages.

Latin Place Names
Latin place names found in the imprints of books printed before 1801 and their vernacular equivalents in AACR2; database was complied from the imprint information in cataloguing records of several Anglo-American libraries.

Mapping the Medieval Countryside: Places, People, and Properties in the Inquisitions Post Mortem
Mapping the Medieval Countryside is a major research project dedicated to the online publication of medieval English inquisitions post mortem (IPMs). These inquisitions, which recorded the lands held at their deaths by tenants of the crown, comprise the most extensive and important body of source material for landholding in medieval England. They describe the lands held by thousands of families, from nobles to peasants, and are a key source for the history of almost every settlement in England (and of many in Wales). They are indispensable to local and family historians as well as to academic specialists in areas in diverse as agrarian history and political society. The project will publish a searchable English translation of the IPMs covering the periods 1236 to 1447 and 1485 to 1509. From 1399 to 1447 the text will be enhanced to enable sophisticated analysis and mapping of the inquisitions' contents. The online texts will be accompanied by a wealth of commentary and interpretation to enable all potential users to use this source easily and effectively.

Orbis Latinus
Resource for medieval place-names. A digitization of the 1909 source, this will reflect the geographical and political reality of that time. For more detailed information, please consult the more recent multi-volume edition: Johann Georg Theodor Grässe, Orbis Latinus; Lexikon lateinischer geographischer Namen des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit (Braunschweig: Klinkhardt & Biermann, 1972).

Periodical Historical Atlas of Europe
Atlas with 21 maps depicting Europe at the end of each century from AD 1 to AD 2000.

The Roads of Roman Britain  
This website, launched by the Roman Roads Research Association in Spring 2018, provides a comprehensive online resource focusing on Roman roads in Britain. Covering all of Britain’s Roman roads, the Gazetteer, when completed, will be the first survey of Britain’s Roman Roads since Ivan Margary’s final edition of Roman Roads in Britain in 1973, now woefully out of date and often inaccurate. The Association aims to provide an up to date evaluation of each Roman road and, since new discoveries are being made all the time, this online resource provides flexibility to make amendments and additions. A fully up to date interactive map is currently under development.

Rockingham Forest Trust Resource Centre
The Forest lies in the county of Northamptonshire, England. These web pages provide a unique insight in to the changing character of the rural historic landscape of Rockingham Forest from the medieval period through to the late 19th century. The evidence presented shows how much of what we value in the present landscape originated, which is essential to understanding how to conserve it. The website includes maps of the forest and surrounding area over time, a short history, and aerial photographs of the area.

The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World
Spanning one-ninth of the earth's circumference across three continents, the Roman Empire ruled a quarter of humanity through complex networks of political power, military domination and economic exchange. These extensive connections were sustained by premodern transportation and communication technologies that relied on energy generated by human and animal bodies, winds, and currents. Conventional maps that represent this world as it appears from space signally fail to capture the severe environmental constraints that governed the flows of people, goods and information. Cost, rather than distance, is the principal determinant of connectivity. For the first time, ORBIS expresses Roman communication costs in terms of both time and expense. By simulating movement along the principal routes of the Roman road network, the main navigable rivers, and hundreds of sea routes in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and coastal Atlantic, this interactive model reconstructs the duration and financial cost of travel in antiquity. Taking account of seasonal variation and accommodating a wide range of modes and means of transport, ORBIS reveals the true shape of the Roman world and provides a unique resource for our understanding of premodern history.
