Both from D.:
Internet Library of Early Journals, 18th-19th century English journals scanned for perusal. D. points out that they don't have a consistent naming convention and hasn't been updated since 1999, so the interface is somewhat outdated and kludgy. Still, it's good that it's out there.
Also, Early Manuscripts at Oxford Library, a framed site (heathens!) but fairly navigable.
Also found through the Oxford Digital Library: Early English Books Online and monumental brass rubbings (rubbings of brass memorials - useful for costume research).

What to do with the recent research suggesting that the Black Death was not Bubonic Plague but a hemmorhagic fever? Write a catchy little song about it of course!
