This website has a plethora of great information on the island of Corsica, and its culture.  On the website's front page, it has posts related to Corsica.  There are several sections on the website one can view when visiting the website.  These sections include home, commentary, culture, events/festivals, gastronomy, heritage, lifestyle and nature.

This website deals mostly with accommodations and tourism in Corsica.  When researching the "World of the Corsicans," this website gave me great information on how Corsica's people make a living on a daily basis.  Corsica.net also offered information on the island's beauteous natural habitat and also discussed some of the Corsican people's traditions and cultural views.

This website was helpful, however I was originally hoping it would be more helpful.  This webpage helped get a bigger picture of the dispersion of Corsican people around the world, and had numerical statistics on where Corsican people live, what countries and cities are home to the most Corsicans, and even had a directory of Corsican people who registered on the website.  While all of this was pertinent information during my research, I was hoping this website is where I would be able to connect with native Corsican people and find someone to interview.  However, every person I tried to contact in the directory did not respond to my request.  I sent many emails to Corsican people who live in the tri-state area (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York), but once again fell short of getting any responses.      

Books

Abram, David. Corsica.  Rough Guides, 2003. 

While this book was only a preview on Google Books, it offered a great deal of valuable information.  This preview offered the basics in Corsica such as getting around, accommodations, safety, holidays, and more.  This book also provided a guide of many areas in Corsica, and this section included information about regions all across Corsica and even Corsican birds.  

Caird, L.H. The History of Corsica. T.F. Unwin: Harvard University, 1899.   

This E-book was free to read on Google Books.  Within this book, I found a lot of key information on Corsica's past prior to the 20th century.  The book discussed the island's early history, the annexation of the island by the Genoa Republic, the Corsican revolution, France's acquisition of Corsica, and even important people such as Pasquale Paoli.  

Dillon, Paddy. GR20: Corsica: The High Level Route. Cicerone Press Limited, 2012.  

Similar to David Abram's book, this Google Book was also a preview.  However, the textual information given within the preview was complementary to my online research about tourism in Corsica, especially in regards to the GR20 hike.  The book entails what hikers should be prepared for, what items they will need on their adventure, and other informing notes on what to expect when hiking across the beautiful island of Corsica.
