Danske Runeindskrifter … 'Runesproject Kopenhagen', gute Fotodokumentation
Nationalmuseets samlinger online: Runer … photos of mainly Danish origin
Samnordisk runtextdatabas
Sveriges Runinskrifter ... pdfs, is Swedish
Runeinnskrifter fra Bryggen i Bergen ... Catalog
An English Dictionary of Runic Inscriptions of the Younger Fuþark
