This is a draft of Version 5 of my checklist of electronic resources valuable for English-language historical-lexicographical research.  I would welcome suggestions of any additional resources I have missed.  Please note that I am not attempting to list every minor newspaper archive or other resources of very slight value, just significantly valuable resources that historical lexicographers need to be aware of.
