Links about psychology to help you develop credible characters
Carolyn Myss has an excellent book called Sacred Contracts, which both outlines and details a bunch of archetypes.
She has info online, too: A Gallery of Archetypes
Mythcreants for Sci-Fi and Fantasy writers has a terrific page on the Eight Character Archetypes of the Hero’s Journey
“Does My Character Work Okay?” – How To Tell For Yourself!
History links I’ve found useful
This site on the Renaissance probably has everything you need to know about the Renaissance. Ever. I will probably break it down into [a lot of] smaller chunks later. Remember: links under Teacher Oz are generally Renaissance-related.
These are writers whose blogs I have found insightful and helpful, and I believe you will, too.
