The Internet Medieval Sourcebook or IMS is located at the Fordham University Center for Medieval Studies and is part of the Online Reference Book for Medieval Studies (ORB). It is a web site with Medieval source documents, maps, secondary sources, bibliographies, images and music.

There are two companion sites, the Internet Ancient History Sourcebook and the Internet Modern History Sourcebook as well as additional resources.

Because most translations are under copyright, a large number of the documents on IMS are older expired versions from the 19th and early 20th century, and other more recent and perhaps readable translations exist for sale through book sellers. However, IMS also has a section of "recently translated texts" which have been translated recently just for IMS. In fact IMS claims it "contains more newly-translated texts than any available published collection of medieval sources."
