Creative Commons: Creative Commons helps you legally share your knowledge and creativity to build a more equitable, accessible, and innovative world — unlocking the full potential of the internet to drive a new era of development, growth and productivity.
Fair Cite: A guideline for fairly assigning credit in the citing of digital publications.
List of Controlled Vocabularies: This directory provides details of more than 70 vocabulary sources. It categorizes the various types of vocabularies as: Thesauri, Subject Headings, Word Lists, Authority Lists and Classification Schemes.
Wikipedia list of Game Engines: A list of tools available for game designers to code a game quickly and easily without building from the ground up.
NEH Start Up Grant guidelines: This program will be replaced by a new program, Digital Humanities Advancement Grants, whose first deadline will be January 11, 2017. The Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program is merging with the Digital Humanities Implementation Grants program to create this new program, which will have two deadlines a year. Guidelines for the new program are forthcoming and should be posted by the end of September. You can find more information about the new program here.

HTML and CSS Basics: Resources to learn the basics of writing of code.
Timemapper: Create elegant timelines and maps in seconds that can be customized and embedded into a webpage. This is an easy and open-source tool, which uses a slide show feature to help users navigate through time and space.
Timeline.js: The slideshow feature from Timemapper, comes from this tool. Individual slides get added to a timeline which can be navigated like a slideshow or scrolled through to jump to a particular point in time.
Neatline: Designed to work with the exhibit platform Omeka (see below), Neatline is best for smaller mapping projects for which visual detail and the element of time is important. You can draw polygons on the map and use Neatline’s timeline feature to walk users through changes over time. (You can also use Neatline to annotate an image.) One thing that’s distinctive about Neatline is that every point on your map can be an item from your Omeka collection. So, for example, if you have an Omeka collection that contains works of art, you can automatically plot each one, metadata and all, on your Neatline map. Neatline’s documentation is the best source of information about it. Example.
MyHistro: Watch and read thousands of fascinating timelines, or create your own. Complete with text, video and pictures to create a dynamic timeline mashup. Using myHistro, you can combine maps and timelines seamlessly into one great presentation, convert any public timeline into a personal pdf file, or export it into Google Earth format for offline storage. All completed timelines can be embedded into your blog and websites for maximum exposure
