If you speak one of the Icelandic languages, you might want to check out Project Runeberg, which looks to be the Norse equivalent of the Gutenberg Project. Of coures, if you speak one of the Icelandic languages, you probably don't need to be looking at my page to find Scandinavian sources. *grin*

Hrafnagaldur Odins A poem for a long time considered to be a 17th century forgery, but now being reconsidered as part of the genuine Old Norse corpus. This site provides translation and background on the poem.

The Greenlander's Saga I couldn't find an online translation of this fascinating sounding saga about the early Viking exploration of America, but the link above takes you to a good introduction of various types of Sagas as well as provides a timeline of when the extant sagas were written.
Erik the Red's Saga I also couldn't find an online translation for this saga, a later take on the early Viking exploartion of America.
