An excellent set of digital source collections run by Columbia Uni. I've been meaning to save all these collections individually but it's such a massive task that I'm just saving the root pages of the collections. If you have a look through these you'll find some gems. And if you save them to the group you will have my undying affection (just please use the same tagging standards - it keeps the information findable).
"The Bubble Project (BP) is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research initiative on the subject of the South Sea Bubble (SSB), the 1720 English episode in what might be called the first great international financial crisis (i.e., the SSB follows upon the collapse of Law's Mississippi scheme in France)." Will we ever learn from history?

Many of the links here refer to journals in libraries, however I managed to get an article on the role of women in Stuart era alehouse culture (are these the only types of things we study these days?) as a pdf, so some are downloadable. Covers all things London.
Produced by the Centre for Metropolitan History in association with the Royal Historical Society Bibliography, London's Past Online is a free online bibliography of published material relating to the history of the Greater London area.
A large collection of images of medieval manuscripts however you can't zoom to a close focus and there aren't translations, except for a brief description of what each page on the manuscript contains.
"The History Data Service collects, preserves, and promotes the use of digital resources, which result from or support historical research, learning and teaching." This says that it's open access, but on closer inspection you need an Athens login (only available if you're attached to an institution which pays for it). Would be great if you could get in, though, I'd imagine.

An interesting site. Someone has scanned in Charles Booth's 1889 map showing London poverty. You can zoom in to street level and see which are vicious, poor areas and which are stable, middle-class ones. Fascinating.
A multitude of links to sites with resources etc provided by good old EDNA. Massive variety of topics, time periods and regions. Tags are probably useless. Sorry.
This provides a database of archaeological sites currently under excavation, including images of artefacts and some historical information. You search by region and then get a list of sites currently being worked on, so it can be a bit time-consuming but would be excellent for student research.
