Online Resources

Introduction

The internet allows access to thousands of pages of information relating to Charles Dodgson and his works. Whilst there is a lot of useful information on the web, there is also a lot of misleading material around. Although we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information on other websites (and, of course, some matters are in dispute between scholars), we believe that the sites we list below, with links are genuinely useful to researchers. They are in no particular order!
