ORB is an academic site, written and maintained by medieval scholars for the benefit of their fellow instructors and serious students. All articles have been judged by at least two peer reviewers. Authors are held to high standards of accuracy, currency, and relevance to the field of medieval studies. NOTE: ORB'S OCLC number is 35987956. <http://orb.rhodes.edu/>

The ORB site links to Paul Halsall’s Medieval Sourcebook - excellent for primary documents.

Each individual section is still large - an organizational goal here is to avoid incessant "clicking" to get between pages and to information. <http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/sbook.html>

This is an index of selected and excerpted texts for teaching purposes. For teachers who wish to refer students to the Sourcebook, this page is the best starting point.
