D'Orcy's Airship Manual: An International Register of Airships with a Compendium of the Airship's Elementary Mechanics.
This book from 1917 basically seems to be the Jane's of airships, and although I haven't gone through it in extreme detail, it looks like a very promising resource (it's got basic schematics and everything). I thought it might be of some interest to the lighter-than-air enthusiasts here.
edit: Ok, it basically is the Jane's of airships. It's got schematics, the detailed specs of the individual airships possessed by the various great powers at the outbreak of the war, recorded losses during the war, and lengthy bits about production info and airship fleet moorings across the globe. Exactly like Jane's Fighting Ships.

Medieval Worldbuilding Information
Really cool blog (sadly, apparently no longer updated as of Oct. 2012) with links galore to pretty much anything medieval. There's links to original documents, maps, other blogs, etc, etc. Really quite informative.

I just had to post a link to this wonderful (but ENORMOUS) world map from 1794. When you're used to only little cramped images of these early modern maps, it's great to actually be able to make out detail - and it's in English. As was their wont at the time, also has stuff about the solar system and moon that gives you an idea of contemporary understanding.
A real joy to read !Not sure if this was psoted (and I can't be arsed to go through 125 pages) But Academia dot edu has bunch of papers from various fields. I found some interesting stuff there and one person who posted them was willing to help me with his field.

I recommend this playlist on the YT channel of this fellow.
It has a lot of good videos with him talking about various misconceptions and inaccuracies relating to weapons, armour and tools of the past. Entertaining, interesting and very illustrative.

For people who might be interested in EU history and similar stuff:
Here's a cvce (Luxembourg's archives) page containing a file full of some proposed designs for the EC flag back in the 50s: Arsene Heitz's proposal for European flag
This pahe contains very interesting primary documents about the early stages of European integration, including the draft treaties for the European Defence Community and the European Political Community proposals of 1953: University of Leiden History Department

That seems to put many Nativist irrational fears in perspective. I mean, you have large swaths of the country having a Catholic majority...

The British Council has just compiled an archive of previously unreleased films from the 1930s and 40s showing everyday British life. They were intended to keep up morale and attract investment to Britain so have a positive spin on them but are still useful resources.
