Following a recent suggestion from @Rob Griffith elsewhere in the forum, I want to put a call out to members for contributions to a 'Useful links' page. The idea is that it will include things like links to other forums, documents which are freely accessible online, repositories of useful material (images etc), websites with valuable information, podcasts, organisations, etc.
Due to work pressures, I do not have the time to compile this single-handedly. I therefore wanted to put a call out to the hive mind of the forum: If there is a site, a document, resource, etc, that you think would be helpful, or you would like to see featured on a 'Useful links' or 'Learn More' page, please post details here, and I will get something uploaded in due course.
If its a website, it would be helpful if, in addition to the link, you could provide a sentence on what its purpose is. If its a pdf that you have in mind, please contact me directly to discuss technicalities.
I am happy for members to suggest links to publishing company pages that advertise specifically Napoleonic era titles (NOT just generic sites selling military history books).
Look forward to hearing from you.

GENERAL NAPOLEONIC BIBLIOGRAPHY
This site has a very helpful list of books published from 1790 to 1990 though there are no links to the actual books. It is a useful tool to aid searching for material of interest.

Zeitschriften (Militärgeschichte)

OK, here's one listing various military journals and where you can download digital copies, including all the United Service Journals (and earlier incarnations) filled with letters from officers bickering about who did what and lambasting Napier.
