Multi-Year Calendar
http://personal.ecu.edu/mccartyr/MyCalendar.html
Shows any year from 1852! And in 4 different languages!
Time and Date
http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/
The default settings display a monthly calendar for the year that includes the
phases of the moon. But if you don't like that, you can customize it. Printer-
friendly version are available, and links at the bottom of the main page allow
you to find the duration between two days, add a number of days to a given
date, the date on which you'll be 20,000 days old (and other really important
facts), and a countdown to the new year.
Hunt Calendars
http://www.huntcal.com/
Hunt Calendars allows you to create your own online calendarhttp://www.womensnet.net.free! You decide
whether to make it private (password protected) or public. My favorite feature is
the ability to email reminders to yourself. You can do some minor customizing
of your free calendar and, for a monthly fee, extensive customization is available.
