Without doubt the best site for many resources on the history, ethnography, and culture of the Marshall Islands. The site is run by Dirk Spenneman, a German-born Australian, who spent time in the early 1990’s as the chief archaeologist for the RMI. He brings a solid academic focus and an energetic eclecticism in maintaining this website associated with the Charles Stuart University located in Albury Australia. At this site you can find Marshallese legends, monographs on history and culture, as well as an archive of historical photographs.

Micronesian Seminars
http://www.micsem.org
Overseen by Father Fran Hezel SJ, the authoritative historian of Micronesia, this site is an interesting mix of images, history, and resources on the culture, economics, and history of Micronesia. The focus is on Micronesia rather than the Marshalls but the broader cultural and historical perspective is useful for gaining a better understanding of the Marshalls.

The site for current Marshallese news and controversies. Founded and maintained by Aenet Rowa, a native of Ebeye who was raised on Majuro, the site has become the virtual community for Marshallese and friends scattered worldwide.
