http://www.nobel.se/: The Nobel Foundation.
Official Website of the Nobel Foundation. The Nobel e-Museum (NEM) is an excellent source for all the Nobel prizes, Alfred Nobel & the laureates. Of particular interest are on-line exhibits of Nobel Stamps and the books in Alfred Nobel’s personal library. The Peace Prize section contains essays by scholars of the prize and the peace movement, including Irwin Abrams, Emeritus Professor of History, Antioch University, Geir Lundestad, Secretary to the Norwegian Nobel Committee since 1990, and Øyvind Tønnesson, Peace editor of the NEM.
http://www.nobelchannel.com/: The Nobel Channel
The Nobel Channel is also a resource for all the prizes. Outstanding graphically with extensive use of multimedia, the Nobel Channel includes video clips of interviews with Nobel laureates and their lectures and a biographical timeline of Alfred Nobel. It is not as good a historical resource on the Nobel laureates as the NEM. It also features a broad selection of Nobel-related links as well as those to the plug-in applications required for maximum usage.
http://www.nobel.no/indexen.html: The Nobel Institute
Website of the Norwegian Nobel Institute (English version). Less elaborate in design as the Nobel Foundation site. The site features the full text of recent Peace Prize Laureate Announcements and their Lectures, a description of the Institute’s Library, contact information for staff members and concise bibliography of Peace Prize resources.
http://www.betterworldlinks.org: Norbert’s Better World Links.
Large, varied site by German physician with thousands of links concerning issues such as Economics, Education, the Environment, Human Rights, Peace, Politics, Religion, and Social Justice. An exceptional resource.
The following are links to selected Laureate Organization Web Sites and biographical information on some individual Laureates.

Includes his acceptance speech and articles from internet publishers. Site also features links to the many international organizations that make up the Tibetan Support Group.
http://www.icbl.org/: International Campaign to Ban Landmines
Official Website of the ICBL (1997). Well-organized frame-based site allows the user to navigate several pages while the site index remains constantly in view. Also designed with an eye toward the present, the ICBL website includes a short history of its brief, remarkable existence under “Campaign Info.” Of interest is the full text of the MineBan treaty and related documents and the links to member organizations.
