Updated 03052017

While most if not all are way way beyond any modest to megier studies budget.
I felt having a reference list still would be useful for all of us.

I have also added some Research sharing sites that may be of use and some that I also use or follow.

The Heroic Age, a Journal of Early Medieval Northwestern Europe

http://www.heroicage.org/
The Heroic Age is a fully peer-reviewed academic journal.
The Heroic Age focuses on Northwestern Europe during the early medieval period (from the early 4ththrough 13th centuries).  We seek to foster dialogue between all scholars of this period across ethnic and disciplinary boundaries, including—but not limited to—history, archaeology, and literature pertaining to the period.
The Heroic Age publishes issues within the broad context of Early Medieval Northwestern Europe.  Each issue has a "general" section and a "themed" section.  Please consult the Call for Papers for information about upcoming themed sections.  For any questions about the suitability of topics, please contact Larry Swain, Editor-in-Chief

UW-Milwaukee Center for Celtic StudiesThe Center for Celtic Studies at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee publishes the electronic journal e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies. The journal is an integral part of the Center's mission to promote and disseminate research and communication related to Celtic cultures, past and present, in the academic arena as well as for the general public. Web resources on Celtic Culture that are content-rich, reliable and current are rare, and are very much in demand. The journal provides free access to cutting-edge, peer-reviewed articles solicited to address specific themes from a range of cross-disciplinary and international perspectives. The goal is to make full use of the electronic medium in a way that cannot be equalled by print journals due to cost or formatting constraints: numerous full-color images per article; video and audio clips; links to other sites embedded in the text; etc. The Celtic world is an especially rich source of graphic images, material culture, and oral as well as performative traditions, all of which can be presented especially effectively in an electronic format.
