The website of the academic-led ARC Humanities Press provides useful bibliographies on medieval history. While the bibliography “Hagiography” is currently not available, there are several other extensive bibliographies on themes which are related to hagiography like “Theology and Spirituality”, “Medieval Liturgy”, “Sermons and Homilies” etc. The bibliographies are up-to-date (2020). Additionally, the ARC has a blog, twitter and Facebook page where their new publications are discussed.

Hagiographie et Histoire (Haghis)
HagHis: Hagiographie et Histoire: atelier français de recherches sur l’hagiographie médiévale is a French blog and research group on hagiography in the Middle Ages. The blog no longer seems to be active (last post as of march 2019). However, it still is a useful resource as it aims to inform on conferences and colloquiums concerned with hagiography. Furthermore, it provides other resources (such as bibliographies, useful links and online resources). The research group used to meet periodically.
Mapping Miracles
The project Mapping Miracles. A Database of Motifs in Insular Hagiography was initially started by students and aims to develop a taxonomy and online repository of miracles in saints’ lives written in Latin and the regional vernaculars in Britain and Ireland between 600 and 1200. They are aiming at developing a useful resource for researchers. However, Mapping Miracles is still in its first phase as they are currently cataloging conversion motifs and coming up with an overall data structure. Also, the last post was published in 2014 and the last symposium was in 2015.

Studies on Christian Hagiography
Studies on Christian Hagiography is a blog dedicated to the study of Christian hagiography. It mainly collects conference programmes, calls for papers and links to sources on Christian hagiography up to 2016. The entries are grouped by topics: the column on the right lists a call for participation, the aforementioned topics and the blog’s archive. The website might be useful if you want to have an overview of the topics which were discussed among scholars of hagiography between 2009 and 2016, although the entries differ in length and quantity of information. Some parts of the menu are in Greek which make it difficult to use for people who cannot read the Greek alphabet.
A Clerk of Oxford
A Clerk of Oxford is a blog mainly about the literature of medieval England from the 11th century onwards. Since 2008, Dr. Eleanor Parker, a scholar of Medieval English literature from Oxford University, blogs about a variety of topics related to her main research interest – the Danish Conquest of 1016 – in medieval historical writing. In doing so, she also blogs about legends of English saints and religious poetry in Old and Middle English. While the blog is not necessarily intended for academics, it might still be a useful resource for hagiographic research as Dr. Parker’s aim is to provide sources and translations which are not already available online. In order to navigate you might browse the posts via the label “saints”. She is also active on Twitter, where she posts about all things Medieval and scholarship.
