Any web search using "Corse" (the French word for Corsica) or "Corsica" will produce a number of results. French and Corsican websites will have much more information, however most of them are in French, and some are in Corsican. If you don't want to use a translator (Alta Vista's free Bablefish tanslration works great on French text), you might stick with the English versions.
While few American's visit Corsica, many English join the French, Italians, and Germans visiting Corsica for their summer holidays, which has created a number of books and websites written in English.
