Fordham University Center for Medieval Studies and is part of the Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies (ORB). It is a web site with Modern, Medieval and Ancient source documents, maps, secondary sources, bibliographies, images and music. Paul Halsall is the Editor.
The Internet Medieval Sourcebook or IMS is a web site with Medieval source documents, maps, secondary sources, bibliographies, images and music.
Because most translations are under copyright, a large number of the documents on IMS are older expired versions from the 19th and early 20th century, and other more recent and perhaps readable translations exist for sale through book sellers. However, IMS also has a section of "recently translated texts" which have been translated just for IMS. In fact, IMS claims it "contains more newly-translated texts than any available published collection of medieval sources."

It is part of the Internet History Sourcebooks Project, dealing not only with ancient, medieval, and modern Western history, but also with the histories of Africa, China, science, and sexuality, to name only a few.
All the sourcebooks aim to provide reliable primary sources in translation, grouped according to historical theme; given Halsall’s training as a medievalist and Byzantinist, the InternetMedievalSourcebook is arguably the heart of the collection.
The Sourcebook’s greatest strength—its creation by a competent, hard-working scholar—is also its weakness, since URL failures are inevitable in a site like this (i.e., human-constructed and not dynamically generated).
