Some potentially useful links:

General postcolonial sites

Contemporary postcolonial and postimperial literatures in English
one of several excellent George Landow productions (see Victorian Web, below). A collection of thematically & geographically oriented essays, course materials, and links on—guess what?—postcolonial literature.

Voices of the Shuttle: English Literature—other literatures written in English (UCSB)
a database-driven postcolonial portal site that will also lead you back to the general “Voices of the Shuttle” lit pages, designed by Alan Liu.

Colonial/Post-colonial Web Sites
a very simple, but relatively comprehensive, links page.

British Empire Studies
a short selection of links, primarily to archives, institutes, mailing lists, and journals. [link inaccessible, at the moment]

British Empire Gateway
a portal site compiled by Jane Sampson, of the University of Alberta. Includes links to a number of country/region-specific sites, as well as on-line courses, maps and images, etc.

History in focus: Empire
a variety of resources on empire (primarily British), both text and links, from the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London. The “About” link will get you to a number of other useful IHR “issues” on varying topics.

Post-Colonial News and Literary Studies
a French (but partially English-language) site primarily useful for its listing of new publications.

The British Empire
a self-proclaimed “not rigourous academic site” that nonetheless has some useful, easily accessible material such as timelines and biographies. Nice production values.

Kiwi/Oz sites

Zoetropes (University of Western Ontario)
resources for New Zealand Literature.

New Zealand History Net (NZ Dept. of Internal Affairs)
resources for NZ history. Fantastic.

The Archives of New Zealand
all kinds of searchable goodies.

Te Papa Picture Library (Museum of New Zealand)
an easily serachable database for viewing (or purchasing) historical (and current) images.

The New Zealand Electronic Text Centre
e-texts galore.

The New Zealand Studies Association
Conference announcemnts, seminar schedules, publications, and the like. A few links for acquiring NZ books, which is notoriously difficult to do out-of-country.

New Zealand Literary Map
Image file plus links to further information about authors, sorted by region. Put out by the Book Council.

Australian Studies Resources
Links to text and images collections, from the University of Sydney Library.

Australian Literature
Portal site from the National Library of Australia.

Victorian sites

George Landow’s Victorian Web (Brown University)
an excellent overview of Victorian literature & culture, particularly useful for students.

Victoria Research Web (Indiana University)
the site associated with Patrick Leary's VICTORIA electonic discussion list. Geared slightly more towards upper-level research, but well worth a look from anyone interested in the period.

Miscellaneous literary sites

Literary Terms
a fairly exhaustive, and quite useful, dictionary of terms compiled by Kip Wheeler, of CNU.

The EServer (The University of Washington)
a wide-ranging portal site for e-texts and journals, online databases, listservs, job-hunting sites, and miscellaneous essays relating to the humanities.

Women Writers Project (Brown University)
pre-Victorian women writers’ texts online.

The University of Adelaide’s E-texts
Attractive, easy-to-use, accurate e-texts. Highly recommended.

Project Gutenberg
one of the most comprehensive e-text resources around.

Literary Resources on the Net (Jack Lynch—Rutgers)
another good general portal.

Bookstores

The Seminary Co-op
the best academic bookstore in the country (perhaps the world?)—your source for information and mail-order shopping from people who know and care about books. The Co-op also handles general interest books—use them instead of Amazon!

Powell’s (Oregon)
used and new books, one of the largest inventories around. An indispensable independent store, with a very usable website.

Powell’s (Chicago)
are they related? sort of—it’s a long story. A great source for primarily academic titles, with a slightly less direct web interface.

Bookfinder
a good multi-dealer search engine for used books.

Alibris
another, proprietary source for used books (specific items also listed under Bookfinder, in slightly different format).

Vedams Books from India
an unbelievably deep source for historical travel books on India and neighboring countries.
