Following a recent suggestion from @Rob Griffith elsewhere in the forum, I want to put a call out to members for contributions to a 'Useful links' page. The idea is that it will include things like links to other forums, documents which are freely accessible online, repositories of useful material (images etc), websites with valuable information, podcasts, organisations, etc.
Due to work pressures, I do not have the time to compile this single-handedly. I therefore wanted to put a call out to the hive mind of the forum: If there is a site, a document, resource, etc, that you think would be helpful, or you would like to see featured on a 'Useful links' or 'Learn More' page, please post details here, and I will get something uploaded in due course.
If its a website, it would be helpful if, in addition to the link, you could provide a sentence on what its purpose is. If its a pdf that you have in mind, please contact me directly to discuss technicalities.
I am happy for members to suggest links to publishing company pages that advertise specifically Napoleonic era titles (NOT just generic sites selling military history books).
Look forward to hearing from you.

OK, here's one listing various military journals and where you can download digital copies, including all the United Service Journals (and earlier incarnations) filled with letters from officers bickering about who did what and lambasting Napier.

GENERAL NAPOLEONIC BIBLIOGRAPHY
This site has a very helpful list of books published from 1790 to 1990 though there are no links to the actual books. It is a useful tool to aid searching for material of interest.

Some Russian sources
http://books.reenactor.ru/?bookid= A huge library of downloadable Russian and French language material on the Napoleonic Era.
http://1812.rusarchives.ru/index.shtml A catalogue of what can be found in Russian state archives regarding 1810-1812
http://militera.lib.ru/docs/0/pdf/otechestvennaya-voina.pdf - A Soviet anthology of important primary sources regarding Napoleon's Invasion of Russia and its background.
Difficult to find the books, top twenty was the only ones I managed, how to proceed otherwise to see what is available??
@Hans - Karl Weiß You type a keyword in the "Ключевые слова:" section on the home page of the link, above you can also choose author, topic/theme and the century that the books are about. Left click to see the document. I hope this works.
