Explorer
20. http://www.maryrose.org/ - the excavation of a Tudor warship
21. http://www.hillsdale.edu/dept/History/War/index.htm - period documents from military history

These will be more valuable to players of modern games, but can be applied to other genres with a bit more work:

For people who want to make the Thieves' Guild a 'family' business:
22. http://www.americanmafia.com/
23. http://www.crimelibrary.com/

For people who want to 'illuminate' the various conspiracies in their world:
24. http://www.crank.net/
