Catholic Research Resources

The Catholic Research Resources Alliance website has two resources of note: Catholic Portal, which allows users to identify items in a wide variety of research collections, and Catholic News Archive, a text-searchable collection of over 30,000 issues of Catholic newspapers with a focus on dioceses in the United States.

Thesaurus linguae Latinae (TLL)

A massive dictionary of Latin.  As of December 2019, the project includes A-M, O-P. It is expected to be completed by 2050.

This is not a Latin-English translation dictionary, but more akin to what the Oxford English Dictionary is for English.

It is being provided open access (free) in large PDF chunks on this website.

A New York Times article describes it thus:
