I thought it might be useful to have a thread where we can link useful resources for writing research. The other day I came across this website:

Research Links for Romance Writers

Some of the links are broken, unfortunately, but it still has a bunch of links to resources for all kinds of information (though of course some of these sites are more reliable than others as well, but it's a start). For example: How to cook medieval, Glossary of castle terms, Steamboat history and facts, Guide to lock-picking, etc.

I figure, even if some of the links are broken, it might give you ideas and keywords to pop into Google for more information.

So, do you have any helpful research links?

This is a great idea Racheling! I haven't got any links myself but I will keep my eyes peeled!

Fantasy writers may want to check out:

The Writer's Complete Fantasy Reference

It's full of interesting little facts, illustrations, explanations of armor, etc. Neat stuff.
