Anthropology Collection Database
http://www.calacademy.org/research/anthropology/co...
Published and produced by the Department of Anthropology at the California Academy of Sciences, this rich collection contains approximately 17,000 objects consisting of ethnographic and archaeological materials of indigenous cultures of western North America (exclusive of Mexico), the Pacific Rim (including all Pacific islands and East Asia), the US Southwest and the Pacific Islands, East Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Central and South America. Although a work-in-progress, the database also includes 7,000 digital images, and is searchable by category, object name, materials, maker's name, collection, culture, global region, country, state, or county.

Dead Sociologists Index
http://www2.pfeiffer.edu/%7Elridener/DSS/INDEX.HTM...
Provides both original texts and commentaries about sixteen of sociology's major theorists--whose ideas remain very much alive.
Max Planck Institute for the Studies of Societies
http://www.mpi-fg-koeln.mpg.de/index_en.html
The Max Planck Institutes are some of the most well-respected academic research institutes in the world, and their Institute for the Study of Societies "builds a bridge between theory and policy by conducting basic research on the self-organization and governance of modern societies". Coordinating their research efforts with several other well-known institutes (such as the Center for European Studies at Harvard University), theprimary objective of the Institutes is to develop an empirically based theory of the governance of advanced industrial societies as they are immersed in the processes of economic globalization and internationalization. Full details of their work are available on the site, but academics and other interested parties will want to take a look at both their discussion papers and working papers, which are made available here as well.

A Sociological Tour Through Cyberspace
http://www.trinity.edu/~mkearl/index.html
"This site features commentary, data analyses (hey, we've become a "factoid" culture), occasional essays, as well as the requisite links, put together for courses taught by myself and my colleagues." (M. Kearl, from the front page)
SociologyOnline
http://www.sociologyonline.co.uk/
This site functions as a clearinghouse for different materials on the various primary areas and subfields of the discipline of sociology. While not every subfield is covered in great depth, the site definitely provides a broad-stroke introduction to the general practice of sociology. (from the Scout Report)
