That would be good.  But I'm also looking for "The Book" for each 
culture or era.  For instance, everyone who does an Irish Gaelic 
persona refers to Dress in Ireland:  A History, by Mairead Dunlevy, and 
if you go to a garb list or an Irish persona list and say, "I want to 
research Irish Gaelic clothes.  Where do I start?", that's the answer 
you get.  So, my page on Irish clothing will definitely include that 
reference.  I'm not planning to do any extensive bibliographies--there 
are plenty of those already--but just give the one or two "gotta see 
it" references for each area.
