The Albanian communist party

Here are a couple of others:

http://www.enverhoxha.info/

This site is a pro-Enver site and probably aligned with the PKSh, so you will have to filter out the editorial commentary if you're so inclined. That said, this site does have some good pictures and, more importantly, period newsreels from Albania. Some are in English, while a few, especially the funeral ones, are in Albanian without subtitles. When was the last time you saw an Albanian newsreel?

http://www.qpz.gov.al/kerkime.jsp

The Albanian State Archives site, this is entirely in Albanian so you'll have to know at least a few words of Shqip to navigate around and get any meaningful benefit out of it. However, several of the laws and decrees concerning orders and decorations from the RPSh/RPSSh era are retrievable from the site.

This is an online English-Albanian/Albanian-English dictionary. It's very useful for getting many words quickly, however, you'll still probably need to get the Oxford Albanian-English dictionary for more thorough coverage.
