Becky, thanks for suggesting the CDMMS as a possible repository for this. I had just finished reading Dan's email, and been struck by how it was precisely that line of thinking that led Chris Baswell and myself to build the Catalogue in the first place. The infrastructure is pretty flexible, but for the time being, I'd like to keep the site focused on manuscripts digitized manuscripts. Hopefully, future versions of the site will have a broader remit, and can include online/ digital editions.

Would this existing resource be a good place to submit such links? Or is there a need for a similar-but-different resource that isn't specifically limited to fully digitized manuscripts?

Quoting Daniel Paul O'Donnell daniel.odonnell@gmail.com:
I'm sure this has come up before, but as part of something I'm working on, I've come across a whole trove of early (i.e. mid-1990s) on-line editions. In this case often designed as class projects and entirely non-medieval.
This makes me wonder if there is a "hidden corpus" of medieval digital editions out there--either still available on some murky corner of the web or lost due to restructuring of URLs at host institutions.
I wonder if it would be interesting to collect as big a bibliography of these as we could. If it turned out that there were hundreds, I'm sure I could whip together a web-form to allow bibliographic entry. But to start, what do people know of?
