Virtual Museum of Games

The Elliott Avedon Virtual Museum of Games is a site at the University of Waterloo in Canada. It's a lovely collection of articles on many different games, with a good deal of depth on the archaeology and history. It is not limited to SCA period, so not everything is relevant, but it's a lot of fun to poke around in.
