Let us draw your attention towards two interesting sites devoted to the informal science community, with news, resources, contacts and publications:

Welcome to SciCo, the meeting point for scientists working full time in any way of science communication. Share your experiences, express your concerns or make yourself known to colleagues. Meet other scientists who once decided that one of the most fascinating aspects of science is to get everyone to grasp its beauty and the excitement of understanding the world around us.
HUBBLE'S UNIVERSE UNFILTERED

THE SOLAR SYSTEM SCOPE

It is a valuable tool for use in class, for a talk, or to play around with your kids at home.
THE SYMPHONY OF SCIENCE
A great way to deliver science trhough music by John Boswell. He has made nine science music videos, let his creations speak for themselves: enjoy the latest release, "Ode To The Brain". (And don't forget to check out the previous eight videos at http://symphpnyofscience.com/.)
SURROUNDED BY SCIENCE
Surrounded by Science: a book and much more on informal science learning. Discover it at the The National Academies Press website, where it can be read online or purchased.
Darwin Correspondence Project
On this site you can read and search the full texts of more than 6000 of Darwin’s letters, and find information on 9,000 more.
Darwin’s correspondence provides us with an invaluable source of information, not only about his own intellectual development and social network, but about Victorian science and society in general.
