The website I chose for the Renaissance was Renaissance History at Academic Info. The website contains links to several sections concerning the Renaissance. It has a Digital Library, Online Exhibits, General Links and Resources, as well as information on Renaissance Art and Architecture, Renaissance Literature, William Shakespeare, Renaissance Science, Christopher Columbus, and Leonardo da Vinci. The Digital Library contains 34 links to websites devoted to unique Renaissance information. Online Exhibits contains links to websites with pictures with historical documents from the Renaissance and information on them, such as scans of the scientific drawings created by the Jesuits from the years 1540-1995. The General Links and Resources section contains 14 links to websites containing generalized information about the Renaissance, such as the Center for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, which contains several sections with information about the Renaissance and the Reformation. The Renaissance Art and Architecture, Renaissance Literature, and Renaissance Science sections all contain links to websites with specific information about each of their respective topics. The last sections on William Shakespeare, Christopher Columbus, and Leonardo da Vinci, all contain links to websites with biographies on those great men of the Renaissance era.

The History Channel website contains a page about the Reformation, and covers all aspects of it, including Background, The Influence of Martin Luther, Economic, Spiritual, and Political Motives, Ferment, Division, and Warfare, as well as Calvin and the Spread of Protestantism. All of the sections contain key words and people that link to pages describing that person or term in greater detail. The Background section describes the events that led up to the beginnings of the Reformation, such as the Hussite Wars, and the spread of Humanism and the printing press. The Influence of Martin Luther tells about the story of Martin Luther and how he symbolically began the Reformation movement by posting his 95 theses on the doors of the Castle Church at Wittenberg and the key role he played in furthering the movement to what it became. The Economic, Spiritual, and Political Motives section tells how many used the Reformation for their own personal motives, and many politicians did it out of greed or desire for power, as well as how the movement spread like wildfire throughout Northern Europe, especially Germany. The Ferment, Division, and Warfare section describes some of the less favorable results of the Reformation, and the Calvin and the Spread of Protestantism describes John Calvin and the influence he had over the Reformation movement.
