My old link to Grimm and Lexer doesn't work anymore, since the portal is now http://www.woerterbuchnetz.de/. Most notably and of interest to you and youse it hosts a digitalized version of Deutsches Wörterbuch by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, as well as the Benecke-Müller-Zarncke (also known as BMZ) and its concordance, Mittelhochdeutsches Handwörterbuch with its Nachträge by Matthias Lexer. It also has a Lessico Etimologico Italiano.

An Indo-European etymological database. Unfortunately, while useful, it's more than a decade old in parts and in many spots is a relic of a time before Unicode.

A whole slew of texts in Eastern Algonquian languages, if you're into that sort of thing.

The best introduction to Sanskrit I've seen- it's linguistically informed, but it isn't impenetrable like Whitney.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but here's a grammar of Tlingit: http://www2.hawaii.edu/~crippen/papers/tlingit-gram.pdf. There's also a message board for the language here, though it's pretty empty at the moment.

Anybody know a good site or book that will do as an introduction to Proto-Algonquian?

There's been criticism on the ZBB, probably at least partially justified, of the format in which this resource has been made available; nevertheless the content is useful.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For Indo-European languages;

TITUS (Thesaurus Indogermanischer Text- und Sprachmaterialien)
especially TITUS Didactica such as
TITUS Didactica: Elements of Indo-European Morphology
TITUS Didactica: Indo-European Reconstruction
TITUS Didactica: Indogermanistische Stammbaummodelle
TITUS Didactica: Indo-European Languages and Their Attestation
TITUS Didactica: Indo-European Languages and Their Attestation (different format)
TITUS Unicode: The Indo-Iranian Verb
TITUS Unicode: The Indo-Iranian Verb (Part 2)
http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/id ... dgphon.htm
http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/id ... dgphon.htm

Also there are some PDFs:
Elements of Proto-I.E. Phonology
http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/idg/idgstkl.pdf

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The TITUS Search Engine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And other resources.

Look at, for instance, http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/idg/, its files, and its subdirectories and their files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also go to the parent directory, http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/, and its contents and subdirectories.

Most of them are not as complete as the Indo-European one, but they nevertheless contain useful resources; for instance, the maps in http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/karten/.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some ideas not yet worked out will be very useful when they are. An example is http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/kinship/. At the moment it's buggy enough that one should be cautious about opening it.

Ehhh...unfortunately almost all of the information, especially the last forty years or so of research, is in journal articles and in papers of the annual Algonquian Conference. If you have access to JSTOR, the journal where basically all the relevant articles can be found is IJAL (the International Journal of American Linguistics). You can order some of the Algonquian Conference papers (others are out of print), but they're pretty expensive, so I've never done that. The closest thing to a book on it (aside from a couple of dictionaries of reconstructed words) is Linguistic Structures of Native America, from 1946, which contains as one of its chapters Leonard Bloomfield's original reconstruction of Proto-Algonquian. It's not too different from the contemporary picture, although obviously there've been plenty of developments since he wrote it.

Resources concerning cultures:

Chuma wrote:...

Unfortunately there are no explanations, and some of the alternatives look like serious misprints. Like, on the question whether a culture was included in Summary Atlas Volume 1967, the possible answers are "Yes", "No", and "Plaster, clay, mud and dung, or wattle and daub".
Nevertheless it can be quite useful IMO.
