Interment.net is a searchable database of nearly 12 million burial records drawn from cemeteries, churches, government agencies, and genealogists across the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and beyond.

https://obscurebattles.blogspot.com/2013/12/elchingen-1805.html
Obscure Battles is Jeff Berry's detailed blog dedicated to analyzing lesser-known military engagements throughout history, with each post reconstructing a specific battle using troop counts, weather conditions, geographic coordinates, and tactical analysis. The entry on Elchingen 1805 is a great example of the depth on offer, examining why the French under Marshal Ney triumphed despite the Austrians holding seemingly superior positions during Napoleon's Austerlitz Campaign.

https://kitty-kat-k8.neocities.org/
K8's personal Neocities homepage is a vibrant, irreverent space for a trans sapphic woman who wears her politics loudly and proudly, plastered with pronoun stamps, LGBTQ+ blinkies, and anti-fascist declarations. The site is light on traditional content but heavy on personality, featuring a link to her blog and a chaotic, stamp-filled aesthetic that captures a specific corner of queer internet culture.
https://brewsterfamily.org/
The Elder William Brewster Society is a membership organization for documented descendants of William Brewster, the Pilgrim who sailed on the Mayflower in 1620.

Duckyfeet is Jessica's personal homepage, version 17, themed around narwhals with a playful old-web aesthetic full of graphics and a tagboard. The 'So long, and thanks for all the fish' farewell quote and narwhal theme give this compact site a charming marine-life personality.
http://ws5.com/nihilism
Compact Library Publishers presents an extended essay exploring nihilism, life after death, humanism, and modern philosophy, drawn from their book 'Something Out of Nothing.' The site challenges readers to examine whether disbelief in an afterlife makes one a nihilist, weaving together arguments about Nietzsche, rationalism, and the search for meaning in a world without transcendence.
