These lists are not designed to be exhaustive - they are links to some of the more important indices and a sampling of some of the materials being produced in a variety of areas. Because of restrictions on time and other resources this list will not be maintained with the kind of frequency which would allow it to keep up with the changes which happen every day to relevant materials on the Internet. Interested people should follow the links to the general collections listed here, such as the Yahoo and Kansas lists, and monitor them to find the latest materials.
T here are three major Internet resources of interest to academic historians and classicists.
Usenet O f these three resources Usenet is the least valuable to academic researchers. At best the loudest voices are from persons with a casual interest but at worst they belong to a number of fringe political groups. Thus, while Usenet can be the most democratic source on the Internet, it also produces the least academic discussion. There are exceptions to this rule. Groups such as soc.history.moderated and bit.listserv.history are moderated and the discussions are more focussed.
