A Prototype Image Database & Visual Union Catalog of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts
"...was conceived as an image database of dated and datable medieval and renaissance manuscripts, intended to unite scattered resources into an international tool for teaching and scholarly research. It has evolved into a general union catalog designed for the use of paleographers, codicologists, art historians, textual scholars and other researchers."

A Bibliography in Progress "this Web site is a large bibliographical database that lists and indexes writings by and about English figures of literary or spiritual importance, from the Middle Ages to the present century, with primary (though not exclusive) emphasis upon writers within the Anglican tradition."
In addition to the database Prof. Peterson also provides a list of web links, on-line library catalogues and electronic texts.

Icelandic Medieval Literature
Images of manuscripts and books published before 1901.
"...The material will consist of the entire range of Icelandic family sagas. It will also include a very large portion of Germanic/Nordic mythology (the Eddas), the history of Norwegian kings, contemporary sagas and tales from the European age of chivalry. A great number of manuscripts contain Icelandic ballads, poetry or epigrams. These Collections are kept in The National and University Library of Iceland, The ¡rni Magn˙sson Institute in Iceland and in the Fiske Icelandic Collection at Cornell University. All manuscripts, on vellum and paper, and printed editions and translations of the Sagas as well as relevant critical studies published before 1900 will be included and available through the Internet."
"This project was initiated at the 33rd International Congress of Medieval Studies by a group of medievalists interested in promoting Chaucer studies on the WWW. Its aims are:
- to organize and provide navigation aides for Chaucer resources on the WWW
- to work towards enhancing and extending those resources
- and to encourage Chaucer studies, including those undertaken via "distance learning," at all levels of education."
