a little history about labyrinths
NOTE: Originally we hoped to develop our own background material on the history of Labyrinths. But given the wealth of content existing "out there" in the labyrinth of labyrinths that is the web, we provide you our collection of sites that can do it better than we could hope to do
- The Labyrinth Society

- The Labyrinth On-Line

either classical or Chartres-style. The graphics are excellent and the text helpful.
