Internet Medieval Sourcebook

Although the Medieval Sourcebook has now become a part of ORB (the Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies), it is often treated separately and still deserves its own listing.

Excellent resource for primary and secondary source materials.

I have used this site many times in my own research and have also brought it into the classroom. The Internet Medieval Sourcebook is a one stop shop for many popular primary and secondary sources that students can use in their research. My only complaint with the site is that it can be a bit difficult/cumbersome to navigate for some students.

Technical Remarks:

No special software is required to use this site, and it is accessible on smart phones/iPads.

Used in course? Yes
Time spent reviewing site: Hours over the course of the last few years

When I teach Western Civilization, I use this site as a place to find primary sources to assign as required readings. Since I also assign students to do document analysis of primary sources that they locate on the web, many of them also visit this site. I particularly like the clear way in which Paul Hallsall indicates whether the source is housed on his on website or elsewhere.
