Some of you no doubt knew already - it appears that the MGH is now on-line for free: http://www.dmgh.de/index.html
For those not so familiar with thos abbrevation, MGH stands for Monumenta Germaniae Historica - Theodor Mommsen's life work (in Latin, including the comments) with many good editions of ancient texts.
Of course, Mommen being Mommsen and the times the late 19th century, some texts were emended to his liking. But for the times, it was the best research ever done, and the texts as they go are still standard for many students.
For me it means adding a LOT of links to my online bibliography..
