Probably the most extensive source of Roma-related materials on the Web, this is an excellent starting point for anyone seeking information on the Rom. Highly recommended.

The University has a large collection of Romani-related material, some of which is on the Web, with the promise of more to come. Look out for an interesting article on gypsy caravans.

George Borrow was a nineteenth century writer who wrote a number of books on the Romani in Britain and Spain, becoming fluent in Romani and living with Roma for extended periods. I believe that the University of Liverpool's gypsy library started with Borrow's collection (correct me if I'm wrong anyone). The full texts of a number of his books are available for download courtesy of the Gutenberg Project.
