Links to other sites that include editions of 17th-century music

There are a large number of archives of digital scores on the web; many are listed at Online Music Scores. The following were selected because they specialize in editions of early music, some of it not be available elsewhere. The scores are encoded in a variety of formats; some require downloading special plug-ins or viewers which may not be compatible with certain platforms.
