Williamson, Allen. Joan of Arc Online Archive. <http://members.aol.com/hywwebsite/private/joanofarc.html>
and <http://www.archive.joan-of-arc.org/>.
(23 March 2005).
A very comprehensive site with a multitude of links to various other
sites dealing with not only the life of Joan, but also her writings and her
time. I found this site to be a very good source on her life. This site also
contains the transcripts of her first trial as well as her second trial. I found
this site very informative and useful. Extensive historical web ring connecting
sights on the net that attempt to flesh out the truth and legend of Joan of Arc.

"International Joan of Arc Society." URL: <http://www.smu.edu/ijas/>
(23 March 2005).
This web site gave valuable information on Joan of Arc as well as
useful places to look to find other information. It was a collection taken from various people, professors, and scholars,
focusing on various aspects of her life. [P.L.]
Wheeler, Bonnie and Charles T. Wood. "Joan of Arc: An
Introductory Bibliography." The Online Reference
Book for Medieva Studies. 1995-1998. <http://www.the-orb.net/bibliographies/joan.html>
(23 March 2005).
This site, which is edited by Laura Blanchard and Carolyn Schriber, is an effort by scholars across the Internet for online
sources for medieval studies. It provides an introduction to some
of the basic works of Joan, by Wheeler and Wood, who are editors
of Fresh Verdicts of Joan of Arc, in a response to an
e-mail question they had received. This bibliography of suggested
readings includes a printed bibliography by Nadia Margolis, as
well as fourteen works dealing with Joan of Arc in history
written by Pizan, Pernoud, and Michelet, just to name a few. It
also offers dramatic interpretations of Joan like those of Shakespeare's Henry VI,
Schiller's The Maid of
Orleans, and Shaw's St. Joan. While this site does
not provide any facts or information directly about Joan, it is
effective in offering suggested readings to those who want to
study Joan. [T.T.]
Bie, Soren. "Jeannedarc.info." 27 March 2005. <http://www.jeanne-darc.dk/
> (5 April 2005).
This site at first consists of a picture of Joan and a brief
description of her role in the siege of Orleans and how she was
burnt at the stake. It was created as a tribute to Joan, and
clearly states that it is a place for students, writers, artists,
and everybody interested in the history of Joan of Arc.
Containing a link to the Joan site, it directs searchers to the
actual site which contains an abundant amount of information. It
provides links to twelve categories dealing with Joan. The first
category provides a biography of Joan from the Catholic
Encyclopedia. The second category is a very detailed chronology
of Joan's life, and the next one describes the military
leadership of Joan, concluding that she was successful because of
her support and because of the morale she created. The next
category consists of a timeline of the Hundred Years' War,
followed by a letter that Joan had written to the King of
England. The sixth one describes Joan's visions. The seventh
category provides all the movies dealing with Joan from 1898
until 1999 from France, USA, Italy, and the USSR. A description
of Joan's family can be found in the next category. The tenth
category gives information about the trial of Joan, and the next
one provides many quotes of Joan of Arc. The final category
includes a series of maps that outline Joan's journeys. Overall
this site is very thorough and valuable to anyone wanting to
study Joan of Arc. [T.T.]
Maid of Heaven URL: <http://www.maidofheaven.com/links.asp>
(30 Oct 2007).
Based on an illustrated book about Joan, contains various resources.
Catholic Encyclopedia: St. Joan of Arc URL: <http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08409c.htm>
(23 March 2005).
This site has a very informative and straightforward approach to the
main aspects in the life of Joan of Arc. I found this site useful in this
research. This is from the Catholic encyclopedia and offered me a religious
point of view of Joan’s life. It
was not only a historical account it also offered me the religious and catholic
thoughts on the events that took place. This article was in the Catholic
Encyclopedia. The information on
this web site was less helpful because it was pretty similar to the information
that I gained from the above article. Also, a problem in getting information from this article was
how short it was. I did however use
it to come up with a closing on her life. Roman Catholic encyclopedia of Saints, provided crucial dates and major
events in the life of Joan. [F.S][P.L.][F.W.][J.S.]
Bois, Danuta. "Joan of Arc." Distinguished Women of Past and
Present. <http://www.distinguishedwomen.com/biographies/joanarc.html> (23
March 2005).
This site was created by Danuta Bois, who explains in one link that she has no formal background in Women's Studies. The site includes three links to biographies written by authors other than Bois. Two of these still exist, and each provides a short, objective account of the major events in Joan's life. Each link concludes with a bibliography. As a source of information for research on Joan, this site is above-average. [D.D.]
This site contains only a short biography of the life of Joan of Arc. The page stresses only the main points of her life. I found this site useful for my research. This site was more of a narrative of her exploits on the battlefield and brief overview of her life and trial. The most useful information was the record of her capture and trial. I found this article to be the best one that I was able to come across. I used this article to research Joan and her life. Also, included in this article was how important Joan was to the people of that time including the world today. [F.W.][P.L.][F.S]

click on "Saints" button in header, then on the Saint's Profile page
go to Joan's feast day, May 30, to get a link] (23 March 2005).
This link appears at the Domestic-Church.Com site, which is produced by Domestic
Church Communications Ltd. The unidentified author presents a thorough account
of Joan's life, accomplishments, and significance to French history, and directs
the reader to links for other Catholic saints. The text portrays Joan as a
genuine messenger from God, whose holy crusade was sabotaged through the
ignorance of her contemporaries. This site is intended for readers who wish to
examine Joan as a saint, rather than as a feminist or a military leader. [D.D.]
Hodges, Miles H. "Joan of Arc"" The Spirtual Pilgrim. 2000 <http://www.newgenevacenter.org/biography/joan-arc.htm>
(23 March 2005).
This is very good in giving quality information on Joan. It touches on many different aspects of Joan’s life. There are also many links to others sites on Joan. this is a very good site to use to gain knowledge on Joan. [M.G.]
"Joan of Arc: Child of War, Soldier of God," Faith and
Values Media. <http://www.joanofarctv.com/>
(23 March 2005).
Website connected to the television dramatization/documentary first presented on
the Hallmark Channel, March 21, 2005. Many respectable Joan of Arc scholars
contributed to the commentary. The site includes a discussion guide (with
a brief chronolgy and a few links to resources), behind-the-scenes clips,
trailer, and media kit.

"Joan of Arc." Order of the Grail: Joan
of Arc Commendary. 1997. <http://www.otgjoac.org/joan.html
> (November 21, 2000).
This site includes an article of the brief history of Joan of
Arc. It is from the Joan of Arc Commendary, which is part of The
Order of the Grail. It provides a moderately detailed biography
of her life, discusses her trial and rehabilitation, and her
canonization. The Order of the Grail is a traditional order of
mystic chivalry that is affiliated with the International College
of Esoteric Studies. The Joan of Arc Commendary is located in Los Angeles and holds convocation rituals with the purpose being the
search for the divine soul. This commendary focuses on Joan as
the patron of the order for her inspired example of Christian and
chivalric virtues. This site provided a small amount of factual
information about Joan but overall would not be successful for
obtaining a sufficient amount of information for studying Joan. [T.T.]
Kiefer, James E. "Joan of Arc, Visionary (30, May
1431)," James Kiefer's Christian Biographies. 1999 <http://elvis.rowan.edu/~kilroy/JEK/05/30.html>
or <http://www.justus.anglican.org/resources/bio/172.html>.
(23 March 2005).
This site comes from a religious perspective. It is short with some general information that is accurate.
I found it as
useful as looking up her name in the encyclopedia only with less
information. There are many holes left about her life but as a cursory
source one could use this. The one useful part was at the end of the site
where there are two prayers and a list of three literary works one could
research. [P.L.] This site give a brief summary of Joan and tells of literary
works made about Joan. There are some prayers about Joan and others links to
people associated with the literary works on Joan such as Shakespeare. [M.G.]
Kiefer gives no information on his credentials. His biography of Joan is short
but complete, and includes, as a background to Joan's rise to power, an account
of the controversy over the dauphin Charles' claim to the French throne. The
biography also offers links to sites explaining the lives and accomplishments of
the three saints Joan claimed had inspired her. Kiefer concludes his essay with
a list of several literary works based on Joan's life. This site is the most
useful as a resource for researching the contemporary events and mythological
references that motivated Joan. [D.D.]
Halsall, Paul, ed. "Joan of Arc: Letter to the King of England." Medieval Sourcebook.
1996 <http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/joanofarc.html>

The authority in Joan of Arc’s written tone is clear- and unique, as is the
entire letter. The document
provides great insight on Joan’s character. [S.D.]
Halsall, Paul, ed. "John Nider: on Joan of Arc." Medieval Sourcebook.1996
<http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/source/nider-stjoan1.html>

This site contains only a book exert from Medieval studies and quotes
Johann Nider speaking of Joan of Arc and other unnamed visionaries of the time
period. Not of much use for this project. [F.S]

Kreis, Steven. "Joan of Arc." The
History Guide. 2000. <http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/joan.html>
(23 March 2005).
This site is from the History Guide under the Lectures on Ancient
and Medieval European History. Kreis, a history scholar, provides
a well-detailed biography of Joan of Arc. It describes her life,
her voices, her aims, the trial, and gives excerpts from the
trial from Leparmentier and Massieu. It also provides links to
other Internet resources on Joan of Arc like various biographies,
the Joan of Arc center, and the Trial of Joan of Arc, just to
name a few. This site is valuable and somewhat sufficient to
those who want to learn more about Joan and find other sites
related to her. [T.T.] This site is an excerpt from the
history guide, written by Steven Kreis. It is written in lecture
format. It includes one picture and many different links. This site
is very informative for those trying to learn more about Joan of Arc. [K.W.]
PSI, "Joan of Arc" The Catholic Community
Forum. (n.d.) <http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintj05.htm>.
(23 March 2005).
This site portrays Joan as a Catholic
saint. It is very organized, in outline form, and includes links to many
different things, including dates and other people. The is a paragraph
about Joan's life but it is very broad. This site also includes many
pictures of Joan of Arc. This site is recommended for scholars studying
Joan of arc and even those studying the time period in which she lived. [K.W.]
Randall, Beth. "Joan of
Arc." National Archives and Records Administration, 1996.
<http://www.mcs.drexel.edu/~gbrandal/Illum_html/Joan.html>.
(23 March 2005).
This was a very good web site to look at and get a
cursory look at the life of Joan. It was done by a graduate student from
Drexel University who has their Masters degree. The information is
certainly valid but does not go into great detail. One would find this
site useful for some general information but should not consider this a complete
source. [P.L.]

"St. Joan of Arc." Catholic Online
Saints. 1997-2000. <http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=295>
(23 March 2005).
This article on the web focuses on the sainthood of Joan of Arc.
The brief biography it provides mentions her childhood, her
voices, her military success, her capture, trial, and death. It
states that she is the patroness of soldiers and France, and
provides a picture of her. While this site provides a small
amount of information about Joan of Arc, it does not supply any
in-depth information about her life or her death. It is not
recommended for someone who seriously wants to study Joan of Arc. [T.T.]
"A Short Biography of Saint Joan of Arc." Saint Joan of Arc
Center. URL: <http://www.stjoan-center.com>.
(23 March 2005).
This article was helpful in getting a format as to where to begin in describing
her life. I was able to know where
to go from one paragraph to the next. Also,
important was how this article broke up the information on Joan to a little more
bigger extent then others that I used in my research. [F.W.] Visit the
Saint Joan of Arc Center for a brief introduction to France’s patron Saint.
Biographical date is provided along with links. [S.D.]
Thurston, Herbert. "Saint Joan of Arc." New
Advent Catholic Encyclopedia Online. 1999. <http://www.knight.org/advent/cathen/08409c.htm
> (23 March 2005).
This article on the web is a detailed biography of Joan of Arc.
It discusses Joan's family, her visions, her aims and successes,
her trial and rehabilitation, and her canonization. Taking a
Catholic perspective, especially of Joan's visions, Thruston
mentions the view of such rationalistic historians like M.
Anatole who explain the voices to be a result of the conditions of
religious and hysterical exaltation that had been fostered in
Joan by priestly influences and prophecies. Thruston discredits
this and believes it is baseless. He also criticizes the
ingratitude of Charles and his advisors in leaving Joan to her
fate, and states that they were determined to take her life at
all costs. Overall, this site is a rather detailed biography and
gives a moderate amount of information about Joan. It is useful
to anyone just getting started in studying Joan. [T.T.]
Musee Jeanne d'Arc. "The Story of Joan of Arc." Comite
Regional de Tourism de Normandie. 2000. <http://www.normandy-tourism.org/gb/04musee/index.html>
(23 March 2005).
This is part of a website for promoting tourism of Normandy. This
specifically describes the Musee Jeanne d'Arc at the old market
of Rouen. This Joan of Arc museum is located thirty meters from
the stake where Joan was burned and has been open for forty-five
years. It is comprised of waxworks that offer gripping and
realistic scenes that enable people to relive the main stages of
Joan of Arc's life. Since this site is used to attract people to
Normandy, it is useful to anyone who maybe be planning a trip
there, but for anyone wanting to find valuable information on
Joan it is poor. [T.T.]

This site reviews a television movie on the life of
Joan of Arc. It gives no factual information, only his opinion on how well
the movie was. He looks at what was done right and what was done wrong and
where they could have made corrections. It was a good review but
contributes nothing in the way of research material. [P.L.]

references to astrology and ties it in with Joan of Arc. This site also
includes quotes from Joan and a picture of Joan. [K.W.]

Morrissey, Thomas E. "Joan of Arc." France.
1997.
or <http://www.discoverfrance.net/France/History/Joan_of_Arc.shtml> (23

Written by Thomas E. Morrissey, an associate
professor of history at State University College (N.Y.), this site was
originally an entry in The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia (1997). The site
is easy-to-read and unbiased, but inadequate for an in-depth study of
Joan. [D.D.]
Rusche, Harry. "The Poster 'Joan of Arc' by Haskell Coffin." Lost Poets of the Great War. 10 April 1997. <http://www.emory.edu/ENGLISH/LostPoets/Joan.html> (23 March 2005). This site, created by the English department at Emory University, gives a description of a poster published in the United States during World War Two. A graphic of this poster, which reads, "Joan of Arc Saved France--Women of America, Save Your Country, Buy War Savings Stamps" is included. The text explains that this poster was commissioned by the United States Treasury Department. This site may be of interest to individuals researching the historical use of Joan's image for social persuasion. [D.D.]

(23 March 2005).
This site is very poor for learning about Joan. Instead it is
written about a statue in memory of Joan of Arc. It does not include
anything about Joan's life. It does contain links to sites that would be
more useful in learning about Joan. [K.W.]
Lindamar, "Joan of Arc." <http://www.hicom.net/~oedipus/temp/joan.html>
(23 March 2005).
This site was composed by "Lindamar," whose link takes the reader to http://www.sfsu.edu
--the San Francisco State University home page. Other than his last name, no
information is offered on the author. The page contains several categories of
links that supposedly review "the perspectives of Joan of Arc based on her
own testimony, the testimony of those who knew her, and the poets and artists
her life inspired." Only a few of these links work. [D.D.]
"History of the Hundred-Years War." http://person.wanadoo.fr/musee.jeannedare/war.htm.

Published by the Joan of Arc Museum, this is an excellent history of the One

extensive background information for anyone researching Joan of Arc’s life
Orleans. French web site dedicated to Joan of Arc with an extensive biography of
the maid, also tracks history of the Hundred years War, and the existing relics
of St. Joan. [J.S.][S.D.]

nobility on her family in appreciation of her actions by Charles VII. Not of
much use for this research. [F.S]

> (dead?).
This site was created by Dr. Innes-Parker, a professor at
Memorial University of Newfoundland, to assist her classes with
their studies. It provides useful links to other Joan websites.
It provides links to sites related to Joan, ones that offer
pictures, and also links to sites dealing with the Hundred Years'
War. This site is somewhat useful, but it is not really effective
because it does not provide any actual information about Joan of
Arc. [T.T.] This page is part of her Women's Studies course. The
site contains a number of links that include medieval images, descriptions of
the Hundred Years' War, excerpts from the Malleus Maleficarum, and
several Joan biographies. These links confront the topic of Joan from many
different angles, and the site in general is an excellent source of information
for anyone who wants a multifaceted view of Joan. [D.D.]
