Mickey Mortimer has said of The Theropod Archives that it may as well be the sister site to The Theropod Database. I wholeheartedly concur, as our sites are indeed complementary. You want solid information on theropods, you need to start here.
Here are some more links potentially of interest. They are grouped within the following six categories:
If you identify a broken link, or, if you are aware of other quality Web sites that should appear here, feel free to notify me.

This is far from a comprehensive list of open access sites, but each entry has contributed to building The Theropod Archives, and many have plenty more to offer dinosaur researchers and enthusiasts. Included are links to open access journals, museum publications, paleontological institutes, CV pages, academic search engines and more. I'll continue to develop this list as I work my way through a backlog of untapped resources.

Web sites with dinosaur imagery. There are a lot of great artists represented here, but also some key names that are conspicuously absent. Sadly, it would appear a number of excellent Web sites have been switched off in recent months.

Note: Only "official" artists' Web sites (or image galleries where it is apparent that appropriate permissions have been secured) will be included.
