- This is the home page for an ongoing project to catalogue medieval Islamic and European astronomical instruments. Led by the Institute for the History of Science at Frankfurt University, the aim is to produce a resource that will provide critical descriptions of all historically-significant instruments, arranged according to provenance and type. The complete catalogue should feature around 550 astrolabes, and 250 sundials, quadrants, and other astronomical instruments. The finished project should feature illustrations and supporting secondary essays. As of 2003, the catalogue is only partially complete, with brief descriptions of objects (organised by instrument, period, and culture) and notes on their provenance and current location. |

- Astronomy in Japan is intended primarily to introduce English speakers to the history and culture of Japanese astronomy. The articles contained in the site are written so as to be enjoyable to read whilst maintaining scholarly standards. There are a large number of pages devoted to aspects of Japanese starlore and astronomical history. These are frequently illustrated and include bibliographies. They cover subjects ranging from the Japanese New Year to the diary entries of a seventeenth-century Kochi resident who observed and drew pictures of a comet. |

- The Australian Science Archives Project (ASAP) web site consists of a collection of resources drawing attention to the history of science in Australia, and the role played by prominent Australian scientists. The ASAP was founded in 1985 and ended in 1999, when its duties were passed to the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre. The web site continues to function, however. The main ASAP section of the site describes the project's aims and objectives, the staff that worked on it, and the services it provided. It features an extensive catalogue of publications, mostly guides to the papers of individual scientists, with ordering information. |

- This web page hosts an online essay introducing the history of astronomy in Denmark. Beginning in the Middle Ages and progressing to the present day, the site covers astronomers such as Tycho Brahe and Ole Rømer, and concludes with the astronomical observatory of Copenhagen University. The text contains hyperlinks to more detailed accounts of important people, places, and concepts. The site also introduces readers to the important astronomical sites in Copenhagen and provides links to calendar programmes and star calculator. Features of the site include some virtual three-dimensional models of Tycho Brahe and Ole Rømer's instruments, and an interactive periodic table that provides chemical data such as boiling point and atomic weight, along with the name of each element's discoverer and date of discovery. |
