Welcome to Woruldhord

Dr. Stuart Lee at the Oxford Computing Services department, has begun a new website, Woruldhord (Old English for World-hoard),

to collect together into an online hoard, digital objects related to the teaching, study, or research of Old English and the Anglo-Saxon period of history.

What a wonderful way to collect and revel in Old English material, even (especially?) if it’s not part of your daily life any more.

Looks like Dr. Lee created other websites, one a digital archive for World War I poetry and another, Dragons in the Sky, for “English-Speaking Communities at the Close of the Millennia” (although it hasn’t been updated recently – the July 2006 article by Dr Catherine Clarke, “Compensation Culture,” is still marked “New”).
