Digital Christian Library Dozens of etexts on Christianity, rare Bibles, and related topics, with many unique items, by a very active scanner who has contributed to sacred-texts under the handle 'Some Dude'.
The Gnostic Society A collection of shorter texts on Gnosticism. Also has a collection of Dead Sea Scroll translations.
The Catholic Encyclopeda This is a project to put online this huge work from 1913.
Project Wittenberg A comprehensive archive of Lutheran texts, of general interest for the study of Protestantism.
