I write Historical Fiction and Fantasy a lot, a lot a lot. I thought I'd like to share my research links, etc. with y'all.
Online Etymology Dictionary: When I want to know the origin of a word, term or phrase, or if I want to know if a word, term, or phrase existed at a certain time I go here.
GodChecker: The most fun mythology site ever!
Encyclopedia Mythica: Just as the title suggestions an extensive mythology, folklore, relgious omnibus.
Behind the Name: Character names galore!
Earthly Delights: This is a website by the band of the same name which has information on dance, music and costumes.
Charlotte's Web: Although this site is for Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, it offers a lot of information and insight into Victorian life.
Middle Ages: This is a site maintained by the University of Oregon about modern novels set in the middle ages.
The Richard III Foundation: A site all about Richard III of England and 15th century England.
Old West: A good site about the American West, 19th century.
The Dectective and the Toga: Dedicated to historical mysteries in Classical Roman times.
The Napoleonic War Series: From The War Times Journal, a list of articles from/about the time period.
The War Times Journal: The main WTJ site.
Student Project, History Galore: Sam sent me the link. Man, this is an interesting and useful site.
