Given that the ground has been opened for web resource links for "general websites" (American Association of Christian Counselors; Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation), can we please have a Web Resources section in Guides and Factbook for the material available in the Vatican archives? Starting with AAS would be my personal preference ... note this would also make lesser documents available in multiple languages. Yes, it would require updating on a predictable schedule.

    Despite turmoil destroying/dispersing documents prior to the 13th century (although many older documents are still in the collection), no other ACELO church has the volume of material that is available in the Vatican Apostolic Archive, the archives of the various curia departments, etc. Especially in the Oriental Orthodox churches e.g. Coptic Church, there are other sites well worth including but I don't believe there is the market to justify them yet. I am judging by the lack of movement on Oriental Orthodox suggestion for book acquisitions. I would consider pushing for some Anglican materials but until we can get things like the Lambeth reports as full-fledged resources, I would be concerned that web access would be an excuse to avoid essential resources. In addition, the Vatican has a major project digitizing its various archives. Only the Oriental Orthodox Churches in diaspora have as serious an effort to make resources available electronically, as far as I know. I certainly can find no indication of a large electronic footprint for Archives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople which would be the logical second step.
