Developed by the Wellcome Trust and now part of Intute, MedHist is a gateway to Internet resources on "the history of medicine and allied sciences, covering all aspects of the history of health and development of medical knowledge". It is possible to search by historical period as well as by categories such as Diseases, Education & research, People, Medical speciality & technique and Locality. In addition there are dozens of narrower categories all of which are plainly but very easy to use and simply presented to try and stop the user becoming overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information available. NB No new resources have been added to MedHist since February 2010. Existing resources were checked and broken links fixed until July 2011, but this has now ceased, so the resource will become increasingly less useful and reliable.

This European MEDIA project aims to Link the television archives of the majority of public television services in the Mediterranean region, as well as a number of regional university partners studying the media. From a design standpoint the website could hardly be plainer but it includes a database on documentary materials that should prove to be of great usefulness.

Topics can be searched by a detailed list and include: Anatomy, Genetics, Maths, Midwifery, Pharmacology, Philosophy, Veterinary Science. Although the site states that it has not been updated since 2008 items are in fact still being added. Although spartan in appearance it remains an easy-to-use and fascinating resource. Requires Flash.
