Focussed Sites
Official
https://www.neworder.com/ New Order's official website! As is typical, you're only gonna get surface level stuff here. Still worth reading.
http://web.archive.org/web/19990202165740/http://www.wbr.com/electronic/ One of electronic's old official websites. It's fine. Electronic has two other websites, one was released with Twisted Tenderness which unfortunately contained a lot of, what I think are, Flash elements which don't work anymore.
http://www.electronicband.com/ And this is the other one! Warners' promo site for the 2013 rerelease of eponymous.
https://web.archive.org/web/20160306154457/http://badlieutenant.net/ Bad Lieutenant's official site! Oh the code just breaks more and more overtime
Fan
https://web.archive.org/web/20150326083233/http://incubation.ch/ An old Joy Division fansite, you're gonna have to go back pretty far to see the real content.
http://www.joydiv.org/ One of the first sites you'll see in your escapades, and a very good one at that.
http://www.neworderonline.com/ Officially promoted fansite, has a good amount of misinfo and most of its exisiting info does not chart any music past the 2nd breakup in 2007.
http://web.archive.org/web/20011216204028/http://slashmc.rice.edu/ceremony/ceremony.html "Ceremony", probably the most famous fansite? Unfortunately never finished but lots of old fans used this as a primary source.
http://www.worldinmotion.net/ New Order fansite officially marked in the Factory discography by Tony Wilson! There's a LOT of misinformation or false leads here but it is generally good to just. poke around in. Lots and looots of cool stuff here. Made by the same guy who did factoryrecords.net.
https://www.niagara.edu/neworder/ Lotsa hidden pages here.
https://www.new-order.net/ Ditto.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180901002112/http://feeleverybeat.co.uk/intro.htm My PRIMARY SOURCE for all Electronic information. Very robust and fun to look through the old archives. Of course it's the teeniest bit outdated and all of the press links don't exist anymore. All of the song pages do exist but wayback can just be mean to you about it.
https://web.archive.org/web/20180723002440/http://website.lineone.net/~home_james/electronic/index.html Don't fully know what's going on here, do not remember finiding it, but it's on the list I got right here!
Blogs
https://newordertracks.wordpress.com A wordpress blog of every New Order song could find. Fun read when you want another person's opinion.
http://alltheairinmylungs.blogspot.com/ An 80s/90s blogspot blog with a fair amount of Electronic and New Order stuff. Haven't personally looked too deeply.
https://neworderscans.tumblr.com/ AKA @sureispure on YouTube (and tumblr). High quality magazine scans.
bluemondays too
Other
https://new-order.neocities.org Tool/Game for deciding your favorite new order song!
https://www.monkey.org/~laps/ceremony/digests/ An archive of old email forums of New Order fans from 1989 to 2004, run by the same people who ran that Niagara-based site I believe. Some of the most fun reading you're ever gonna get. Not related to the Ceremony fansite posted above at all.
https://www.themarrchives.com/ Johnny Marr fansite! Putting this here since you can still find lots of Electronic articles in wonderful quality, thank you Smiths fans.

Books

Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division (2011, Peter Hook)
