APIS: Advanced Papyrological Information System
APIS is a collections-based repository hosting information about and images of papyrological materials (e.g. papyri, ostraca, wood tablets, etc) located in collections around the world. It contains physical descriptions and bibliographic information about the papyri and other written materials, as well as digital images and English translations of many of these texts. When possible, links are also provided to the original language texts (e.g. through the Duke Data Bank of Documentary Papyri).
Celt: Corpus of Electronic Texts
Site sponsored by the University of Cork. The mission of Celt: Corpus of Electronic Texts is "To bring the wealth of Irish literary and historical culture (in Irish, Latin, Old Norse, Anglo-Norman French, and English) to the Internet in a rigorously scholarly project that is, at the same time, user-friendly for the widest possible range of readers and researchers--academic scholars, teachers, students (at all levels), and the general public, in Ireland and internationally. Texts will be presented in immediately usable form and accompanied by introductions, translations (where possible and necessary), and scholarly bibliographies. Images will be an integral part of text presentation and texts will be accompanied, where useful and possible, by graphics, maps, line-drawings etc. CELT will be integrated into the teaching and research community of UCC--it will draw on the resources of that community and contribute to its work."
Chaucer: An Annotated Guide to Online Sources
"The purpose of this site is not to duplicate the vast amount of Chaucer material that has appeared on the internet over the last five years, but to sift and sort it."
Classical Language Instruction Project
"This site contains samples of Greek and Latin prose and poetry texts, read by various scholars and in different styles. It is designed to help students of the classical languages to acquaint themselves with the sound of Greek and Latin and to practice their own reading skills."
Classics Collection Page
Resources for the study of the classics provided by Blake Lawdor, subject bibliographer for the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Geoffrey Chaucer Website
"This site provides materials for Harvard University's Chaucer classes in the Core Program, the English Department, and the Division of Continuing Education. (Others of course are welcome to use it.) It provides a wide range of glossed Middle English texts and translations of analogues relevant to Chaucer's works, as well as selections from relevant works by earlier and later writers, critical articles from a variety of perspectives, graphics, and general information on life in the Middle Ages. At the moment the site concentrates on the Canterbury Tales, but the longer-term goal is to create a more general Chaucer page."

The National Endowment for the Humanities has supported the creation of this website through a grant to sustain the Middle English Texts Series."
