Medievalist Weblogs (sorted by Type)

medievalia submenu: medievalia | medievalists with weblogs | early tech resources | professional website

This is an list of Medievalists with weblogs, or any other logs which spend some significant portion of their time discussing Medieval content. The Medievalists include undergraduates, graduate students, and professors. I would happily make additions and updates to this list (sworthen@owlfish.com). Most of these were located through the work of other Medievalists who are equally interested in who else out there in the profession is blogging or journaling. This may mean I have mistakenly misidentified some of these logs as being relevant to this list.

This list was created and is maintained using PubTAL.
