Il Giornale Nuovo
My all-time favourite site/protoblog, closed in 2007. Still the archives are online. Two main parts:
Isaac D’Israeli’s Curiosities of Literature - a very large work brought here online;
and more especially, a gigantic database of strange (mostly fairly ancient) art and engravings. Mr. h. used to give away some of his books through this site. This is the top in what me might call scientific study of visionary art with lots of images and lots of external links.

Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society
"The Athanasius Kircher Society was chartered to perpetuate the spirit and sensibilities of the late Athanasius Kircher, SJ. Our interests extend to the wondrous, the curious, the singular, the esoteric, and the sometimes hazy frontier between the plausible and the implausible — anything that Father Kircher might find inspiring if he were alive today. Records of our proceedings are maintained for the public’s edification."
