Resources

 

I referenced many, many websites to be able to put together this colossus list. Each source is listed in the order in which the information that source provided first appears in The List. Any image sources are quite likely not duplicated here. Instead, click on the image to see where it comes from. This is the easiest way that I found [give me 40 acres].
