For the most part, the Websites in the following list have numerous pages
of text and graphics. Because of their special value, I have listed a few
individual images from larger Websites; those listings which locate a single
image are identified as such (e.g., photo, sketch, map). The Geopolitical
sub-headings (e.g., Ancient Near East) are organized from general to specific;
the others (e.g., Museums, Ancient Documents, and Professional Societies) are
organized alphabetically.
