Encyclopedia Brittanica (note that it says that it contains ALL articles from the printed editions; but for illustations, biographies, yearbooks, etc., it doesn't say that it contains ALL, so you should assume that many are missing.)

Mugar Library's "reference shelf" provides a link to WWWebster Dictionary, the online version of Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.  Notice that Mugar clearly states that the dictionary is an online version of the 10th edition of Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.  But when you link to the dictionary itself (http://www.m-w.com/netdict.htm), it's a lot tougher to find out what edition is contained and whether it's complete.
