General resources on Political Parties:

• partyfacts.org: Party Facts links datasets on political parties and provides an online encyclopedia about parties and their history as recorded in social science datasets. The Manifesto Project's party codes are a core component of this project. Thus Party Facts currently provides links of manifesto parties to more than 60 other datasets.
• parlgov.org: The Parliaments and Governments Composition Database (ParlGov) by Holger Döring and Philip Manow provides information on election outcomes, parliaments and cabinets.

"Other" Manifesto Projects

• Euromanifesto Project: The Euromanifesto Project uses a very similar methodology to study parties' electoral programmes for the European parliamentary elections.
• Regional Manifestos Project: The Regional Manifestos Project applies the Manifesto Project's methodology to subnational elections.
