medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
If I might add a program right down the street from me here at Bryn Mawr: Villanova University has a terminal masters in History, with a great faculty in History (and related disciplines) and an excellent library. It also gives access to the rich resources of Philadelphia, which includes the libraries of the University of Pennsylvania; the tri-college system of Haverford, Swarthmore, and Bryn Mawr; and the free library of Philadelphia.
