Included below are a number of links to national and international governmental web sites along with many others of interest for good measure.
I have compiled the following links to web sites which I find useful for research or, oh well, trivia. I continually find this list quite convenient because it contains, all in one place, so many pointers to sites where I can look up information. I have placed them here hoping others might also find them of value.
If you have comments, ideas, or admonitions, feel free to contact me through the link to the webmaster.
