http://gallica.bnf.fr/

huge site containing digitised images of complete texts from the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Also includes images from a number of medieval manuscripts. Includes both digitised books and journals, e.g. Le Moyen Age not otherwise available online. An excellent resource for French publications no longer subject to copyright, but also some English publications such as Rolls Series.

· Google Books

http://books.google.com/

not confined to material that is out of copyright, but only provides extracts (or even snippets) from copyright publications if anything at all. Not as good as Internet Archive for out of copyright publications. The real strength of Google Books is as a search tool. It is possible to search, for example, for a particular name and rapidly discover many places where this name has appeared in print (even if the publication itself is not accessible online). By a judicious use of a small number of key terms, it is also possible to be guided to a range of publications that might not otherwise have been noticed.
