Starting Points:

• Ahang Rabbani’s Translations. Ahang Rabbani once had a wonderful website with all sorts of translations and scholarly works offering insights into Bahá’í history. I can't find it any more, but this is a link to a blog post about the Martyrs fo Manshád. Ahang has quite a book collection.
• H-Baha'i electronic publications. This website offers a variety of scholarly papers and translations related to the Baha'i Faith.
• Bahais Online. This is a sort of news service with some of the best content related to the Baha’i world community and the religion.
• Bahá’í Online Library. This is a source for original Baha’i texts and papers. Primary sources and secondary sources are available here.
• Who is Baha’u’llah? This is a website with some good insights into the Revelation of Bahá’u’lláh.
• Short Biography of Baha'u'llah. This is my favorite short biography of Bahá’u’lláh.
