• 1. Caribbean Newspapers (1718-1876)

  The largest online collection of 18th- and 19th-century newspapers published in this region. It will provide a comprehensive primary resource for studying the development of Western society and international relations within this important group of islands. It is a unique and essential resource for researching colonial history, the Atlantic slave trade, international commerce, New World slavery and U.S. relations with the region as far back as the early 18th century. Created in cooperation with the American Antiquarian Society—one of the world's largest and most important newspaper repositories—this collection will provide students and scholars with easy access to more than 150 years of Caribbean and Atlantic history, cultures and daily life. Featuring more than 140 newspapers from 22 islands, this resource will chronicle the region’s evolution across two centuries through eyewitness reporting, editorials, legislative information, letters, poetry, advertisements, obituaries and other news items. Most of these newspapers were published in the English language, but a number of Spanish-, French-, and Danish-language titles are also provided.

• 2. Project Runeberg

  Project Runeberg is a Swedish-centered, volunteer-based project that offers in HTML format more than 200 original-language classic works of Nordic literature, music, and the history of science, plus selected texts in Swedish law and in other disciplines. Works represent Sweden (the bulk of the offerings thus far), Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland. The site also provides biographical information and links to additional reading, to other text sites, and to other electronic text projects. This is a large and complex site under continuous development. The home page lists additions year by year, but better access is provided through the subject (tema) index and through the alphabetical list of offerings. There is also an author/title search page with links at the bottom to the online catalogs of the Swedish, Danish, and Finnish national libraries and to the Norwegian universities union catalog (BIBSYS).

• 4. Danish National Archive of Literature (DNA)= Dansk Nationallitteraert Arkiv (DNA)

  Machine-readable texts of classics of Danish literature ("literature" broadly defined; the collection includes the Gesta Danorum of the medieval Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus and the Astronomiae instauratae mechanica of the astronomer Tycho Brahe). Most texts are in Danish, with some in Latin. At present, the majority of the texts are from Det Danske Sprog-og Litteraturselskab (DSL) (Danish Society of Language and Literature), though with a selection from other publishers. In November 2000 some 45 text files were available on this site, a project of the Det Kongelige Bibliotek (Danish Royal Library). The project had ended by early 2012 but the individual links have been archived and still work. (Not updated)
