The Labyrinth Library: Old English literature provides access to Anglo-Saxon texts. The site includes poetry, prose, runic and liturgical texts in Old English.

As well as providing access to Old English texts the site also has a section on contemporary composition in Old English and another section on reference works. The reference works section consists, mainly, of links to bibliographies.

The Labyrinth Library was set up with the objective of providing free organised access to electronic resources on medieval studies via the World Wide Web.
