Iberian Studies

Internet Resources

Digital Libraries of Rare Books in Spain WWW is a German site that lists Spanish libraries with holdings in medieval manuscripts and incunabula.

Libro WWW (The Library of Iberian Resources Online) "is a joint project of the American Academy of Research Historians of Medieval Spain and the University of Central Arkansas. Its task is to make available to users the best scholarship about the peoples and nations of the Iberian peninsula. Consequently, the book list is principally drawn from recent, but out-of-print university press monographs. In addition, the collection includes a number of basic texts and sources in translation."

Medieval Iberia WWW is part of the Labyrinth Library and lists a wide variety of resources for Medieval Iberian Studies.

Medievalismo WWW is  a portal to medieval Spanish history that includes a list of conferences, directory of Spanish medievalists, content of a number of journals, and links to other sites.

Parnaseo WWW is maintained by the Universitat de Valencia and provides access to a number of online journals and databases for Spanish studies, such as full-text online access to LEMIR (Revista de Literatura Española Medieval y del Renacimiento).

PhiloBilblon WWW is a project to construct a bio-bibliographical database of early texts produced in the Iberian Peninsula and to provide access to this information through an online service on the World Wide Web.

Proyecto sobre el Romancero pan-Hispanic  WWW plans to provide online access to  "several interrelated databases that will provide students in this field with essential tools for their researches: a) an exhaustive, critical bibliography of Pan-Hispanic Balladry, b) a large corpus of texts representative of all ballads documented worldwide since the 15th century, c) cartographic display of the primary and seconday data, and d) digitized reproductions of original oral performances and their musical notation. The bibliography and the textual database are currently operational."

WESS Iberian Studies Web WWW "The Iberian Studies Web is designed to provide access to scholarly resources in Iberian Studies (for Spain, Portugal and Andorra). We do not strive for exhaustiveness but rather for quality. The resources organized here have undergone a selection and evaluation process. If needed, annotations have been provided augmenting the research value of these resources to scholars."
