	Web Sites of the Month June 1999

	The World Wide Web Virtual Library - Theatre and Drama Whether your interests are the London theatre of the 17th century or Korean mask dramas and puppetry, this site, maintained by Barry Russell at Oxford Brookes University, is a tremendously authoritative gateway to quality theatre and drama resources on the web. There is an exhaustive range of links to international online articles, journals, syllabi, museums, organisations and theatre companies and annotated links to a rich and truly fascinating series of collections of theatre images. This site will lead you to resources for students to interrogate within a course, to bibliographies, databases, electronic texts and disussion lists to aid research, and even to sites which themselves are arenas of performance. Overall, a valuable first stop for theatre studies scholars. (SS) http://www.brookes.ac.uk/VL/theatre/index.htm
	American Academy of Religion Syllabi Project Are you planning a new module in religion? Curious to know how others teach courses similar to yours? Want to contribute to discussions about the teaching of religion in higher education? The American Academy of Religion has launced a new project which aims to collect and catalogue syllabi for teaching all areas of religion and theology. Apart from providing a useful central point of contact for lecturers considering new courses or revising old ones, the site also aims to encourage discussion about pedagogic issues. Each catalogued syllabus includes details of the course objectives, methods, requirements, reading lists, assignments, and also 'pedagogical reflections' which provides a short evaluation of the course. The site currently has an American bias (though the AAR does have many UK scholars of religion amongst its membership). Lecturers visiting the site, however, are encouraged to submit their most creative syllabi. (MF) http://www.wlu.ca/~wwwaar/home.html
	The Epigraphic Database Heidelberg The Epigraphic Database Heidelberg is a rich and growing database of latin epigraphy taken from all parts of the Roman empire. It is in the first instance based on inscriptions both published and submitted (but unpublished) to l'Annee Epigraphique between 1894 and 1990. Parts of the Corpus Inscriptione Latinorum will be added to EDH in the near future. All inscriptions have been edited (based on photographs of the original inscriptions), and indications are given where transcripts in the EDH differ to those published elsewhere. The inscriptions are available in two levels of detail: transcription of the inscription in bare form, and an expanded and restored form. In addition, support information is given on the place of discovery, the settlement from which each inscription originates (where this differs to the former) and a bibliography. Photographs of inscriptions will also be included (but are not currently available). The EDH has a sophisticated search engine integrated with the collection, which can be searched in a variety of useful ways. The EDH is already a valuable research and teaching tool, and is worth visiting on a regular basis to check for new additions and updates.

	The Online Resource Book for Medieval Studies The Online Resource Book for Medieval Studies is aims to provide "an online textbook source for medieval studies". Resulting from a conversation on the MEDIEV-L discussion list, this comprehensive site provides academic articles, links to primary sources, downloadable images, useful collections, and links to other relevant sites. The Teaching Page is a promising addition to the site and, while still in development, contains syllabi, training aids and resources used by scholars in the classroom. ORB is overseen by Lynn H. Nelson (executive publisher) and benefits from the advice and input of an impressive list of Medieval scholars. The site is consistently updated and welcomes advice and submissions from its users. It is one of most extensive resources for teachers and scholars of Medieval literature. (KW) http://orb.rhodes.edu/
