• An Analytic Bibliography of On-line Neo-latin Texts. Dana F. Sutton. Irvine, CA: University of California, Irvine. Summary: " The enormous profusion of literary texts posted on the World Wide Web will no doubt strike future historians as remarkable and important. But this profusion brings with it an urgent need for many specialized on-line bibliographies. The present one is an analytic bibliography of Latin texts written during the Renaissance and later that are freely available to the general public on the Web (texts posted in access-restricted sites, and Web sites offering electronic texts and digitized photographic reproductions for sale are not included). Only original sites on which texts are posted are listed here, and not mirror sites. This page was first posted January 1, 1999 and most recently revised on March 6, 2004. The reader may be interested to know that it currently lists 9014." Date added: 2002-09-08. Date updated: 2004-03-06.

These include the collections of libraries, museums and archives, as well as the collections of monastic orders and some other private institutions that are open to researchers.
