Who's Who of Victorian Cinema website
Who's Who of Victorian Cinema is a website that serves as a biographical guide to the world of Victorian film. It features 300 biographies of those who, behind and in front of the camera, played a significant part in creating the phenomenon of moving pictures. Based on the book Who's Who of Victorian Cinema (published by the British Film Institute in 1996), it was revised throughout, and new entries and background features were added, to make the website serve as a reference source to the world of Victorian film and the world as seen through the eyes of the Victorian filmmakers. Victorian film is defined as filmmaking in its broadest sense, from the first glimmerings in the 1870s and 80s to the death of Queen Victoria in January 1901.

WorldAtlas
WorldAtlas is a general international website which was founded in 1994. Over the years, the site has evolved to fill a niche on the web that aims to provide informative content surrounding the realm of geography that is both factually accurate and enjoyable to read. Through charts, tables, lists, graphs and articles, World Atlas covers topics that reach beyond geography to include sociology, demography, environment, economics, politics, and most recently, travel. This content is in addition to the database of original maps that can also be found on the site. World Atlas is used as a resource for educators, students, and those who are simply curious about the world around them.
It is a good resource for background information on the South African context.
