Yale University Avalon Project

The Avalon Project is a digital library from Yale University's Lillian Goldman School of Law that provides linked full text of documents relating to law, history, economics, politics, dipolomacy and government. Documents range from the ancient (4000 BCE) to important legal documents of the 21st century, and include the Athenian Constitution, The Mayflower Compact, all of the Hague Conventions, and the Executive Order that established the Department of Homeland Security. You probably have to be a pretty big dork to get excited about these documents, but I trust that readers of this site are into that kind of thing in the first place.

Project Diana is a document collection of the Avalon Project that makes landmark human rights cases and documents available publically. The International Military Tribunal for Germany houses full-text testimony and documents of the Nuremburg trials.
