Here are some sites I've collected which are either directly devoted to Thomas Merton and the study of his writings or are in some way related to him and the life he lead. For example, there are some links to Monastic sites that are related to Gethsemani Abbey where Merton lived, and to the Cistercian Order to which he belonged. These will help to give you an idea of who this man was and what he experienced while he was with us.
