Online Resources for the Study of Liturgy and Prayer
Here are some online resources for the study of Jewish liturgy and prayer:
1. Tzvee Zahavy’s website has an excellent collections of articles, books, a bibliography, and syllabuses.
2. The Beurei Hatefila Institute offers a very large selection of source sheets and resources for the study of Jewish liturgy.
3. The Prayer in Rabbinic Literature Database is a very powerful tool for finding Tannaitic sources related to prayer. My main complaint is that it only works with Internet Explorer, a not so uncommon characteristic of Israeli web sites. Get with the program, not every uses Internet Explorer!
4. Digitized books from the JNUL. Siddurim, Mahzhorim and other liturgical works can be found here.
I am sure that there are others and feel free to mention then in the comments section.

Thanks for the references. IE only sites are quite annoying, but I found that The Prayer in Rabbinic Literature Database DOES open up with an IE rendering FF add-on. I tested it with Coral IE Tab and Firefox 3.5.7, and found that the site works fine.

I have a Mac running Windows on a virtual machine so I use IE through this set up.
