medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Talking about resources on the web:
Nearly the whole body of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (except volumes
printed less than five years ago) is available under http://www.dmgh.de. So
far there are only fairly good jpgs of the volumes, but it is apparently
planned to have a searchable database at a later stage as well.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
DuCange is available in *much* better PDFs, from new scans, at the
Stanford Medieval & Modern Thought digitization project:
http://standish.stanford.edu/bin/page?forward=home When you see them
you will immediately discard the wretched Gallica PDFs which were made
from old scratched film. The 1840-50 ed. (7 vols.) of DuCange is
available as is the 1857 supplement. The 1883-87 ed. (10 vols.) is
incomplete at the moment but I just this week persuaded the manager to
put the missing vols. 1, 5, and 7 higher in the scanning queue, so you
can look for them soonish.
For those interested in the vast Rolls Series, MMT has quite a lot of
volumes already online--the Matthew Paris range is nearly
complete--again in *much* better PDFs than at Gallica, and more may be
coming. Also online: Hampson's Medii Aevi Kalendarium (both vols.);
six of M.R. James' descriptive catalogues of Cambridge MSS; Froissart's
Chroniques, ed. Buchart (14 vols.); Baring-Gould's Lives of the British
Saints (4 vols.); and more.
Stanford MMT's bibliographic data is not bad but the database functions
are weak--eg, no single search/browse tool will turn up all the James
catalogues--so look thoroughly.
Cheers,
