The Live Art Archives holds information about existing Live Art and Performance Art materials, records and publications primarily in England and the UK. The database of events seems not to be as comprehensive as when it was first created by Nottingham Trent University in 1997, but it was a useful search facility, and the site has valuble contact lists, details of courses, archives, databases and venues. Now based at Bristol University.

Previously known as Omni, this is an essential gateway to academic and related web-sites on all aspects of medicine including bio-medical research. NB Intute closed in July 2011 and the site has now been archived. No further resources are being added and no changes are being made to existing content, so the resource will increasingly become less useful and reliable.
