Recorder Home Page, established and maintained by Nicholas Lander, the biggest and best (to my knowledge, at least) resource for recorder players on the Net.
Exploring Australian Recorder Composition by Claire Farrell (Orpheus, 2022), filling a gap in the documentation of the field since around 2010.
Stichting Blokfluit Archive, a pair of large databases created by Walter van Hauwe & Paul Leenhouts:
• Catalogue for Contemporary Blockflute Music (CCBM)
• Catalogue for Historic Recorder Repertoire (CHRR)
Access to these databases is free of charge but registration is required so that usage patterns can be monitored.
