ADAM
The Gateway to Art, Design, Architecture & Media Information on the Internet
"...is a searchable catalogue of 2546 [as of 08/14/00] Internet resources that have been carefully selected and catalogued by professional librarians for the benefit of the UK Higher Education community."

archINFORM - International Architectural Database (English or German)
"This database includes over 11111 built and unrealized projects from various architects and planners. The architecture of the 20th century is the main theme of this database....It's possible to look for a special project via an architect, town or keyword with the indices or by using a query form."

La base MÈrimÈe sur le patrimoine architectural franÁais
"La base MÈrimÈe recense le patrimoine monumental franÁais dans toute sa diversitÈ. Elle permet l'accËs ‡ 147 000 notices rÈdigÈes ‡ partir des enquÍtes de l'Inventaire sur le terrain et des arrÍtÈs de protection des Monuments Historiques (classement et inscription) ; elle est rÈalisÈe sous la tutelle du ministËre de la culture et de la communication."

"...is a collection of digitized images of buildings and cities drawn from across time and throughout the world, available to students, researchers and educators on the web."

The DiCamillo Companion To British & Irish Country Houses
"The Database is updated daily and currently lists over 6,900 houses, with images for over 850 houses.  This undertaking will compile as many details as can be found about the houses, families who occupied them, and their estates, in a standardized format. The project will take many years to complete, but I believe that the Database is already a major resource, and the only comprehensive one online, for thumbnail information on these magnificent houses."
By Curt DiCamillo
