• All History Guide Online History Directory An index of history websites, giving links and brief descriptions. 66 categories thus far.
• Almanach de Bruxelles The website of an important registry of non-European royal houses. Unfortunately, this has become a subscription-only site.
• Chineseeyes Xiè Chéngnùo, A very large and complete site on Chinese rulers, with an extraordinary amount of detail.
• A Chronology of the Ruling Parties in the World Ka Fat Chow A carefully researched and easy-to-read website that does for political parties and ruling factions what I do for monarchs and governors. Worldwide in scope, some areas (esp. Africa and the Americas) are still under development. Data is restricted to fairly modern times, since identifying political parties as such in Ancient or Mediaeval periods would be difficult at best.
• The Coins and History of Asia Mallon-McCorgray, Thomas A nicely designed and very extensive coverage of this complex subject, profusely illustrated.
• Descendants of Charlemagne The beginnings of an attempt to trace the descendents of this central figure in European history.
• Early British Kingdoms. Ford, David Nash.A very complete approach to this complex and often obscure subject matter. The maps are very detailed and worthy of very high praise.
• English Monarchs A complete sequence of brief biographies of English and Scottish sovereigns.
• Footnotes to History A huge annotated compilation of ephemeral states, revolutionary movements, and micronations at various levels of seriousness. A very compelling archive of material lying at the outer edge of sovereignty.
• Friesian.com An enormous archive of precisely the sort of information I present myself, with some additions I've been thinking about as well (primarily, the maps and family trees). I think the only thing I have to offer is that I cover a wider and longer database than they at present. This is one subsection of a very large site devoted to the different aspects of a particular philosophy of science; if you move down the index, you will see where the charts and tables are: they take up most of the subdirectory, but there are essays and general data as well.
• Histoire Mondiale Henrio, Patrice. In French. The homepage of a program which displays historical maps and allows the user to adjust time and location, permitting one to gain a clear idea of the expansion and shrinking of states as they evolve. The current version has data on early Classic empires from the Mediterranean to China. This is an important project - one that I always wanted to do myself - Patrice has turned it into a reality.
• History and Flags of the Nations Tosi, Claudio. An important archive of color illustrations of national and regional banners.
• Internet-Gotha The Website of the Almanach de Gotha, a geneological sourcebook for European nobility from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day.
• Joan's Royalty In History Page An extensive series of pages on diverse topics, everything from a "Mad Monarchs" page to a very thorough Geneology of the House of Nassau.
