Some resources on the subject of Joan of Arc include:
Regine Pernoud's books. There were many of these published before her death a few years ago. "Joan of Arc By Herself and Her Witnesses" (London: Scarborough House, 1994) and "The Retrial of Joan of Arc; The Evidence at the Trial For Her Rehabilitation 1450 - 1456" (New York, Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1955) are possibly the best of the English-language books. Her French-language books include "Jeanne d'Arc par elle-meme et par ses temoins", "Dans Les Pas de Jeanne d'Arc", "Vie et Mort de Jeanne d'Arc", and "Jeanne d'Arc: La Reconquete de la France" (Gallimard, 1995).
The Saint Joan of Arc Center in Albuquerque, N.M. Founder - Virginia Frohlick. This site contains many articles and links on a wide variety of topics, and is regularly expanded with new items.
The Joan of Arc Archive Run by Allen Williamson. Contains many articles, biographies and translations of primary source documents.
The Historical Association for Joan of Arc Studies (aka Historical Academy for Joan of Arc Studies). President Robert Wirth, Founder Allen Williamson. The site isn't very large yet, but contains some articles and other information. About the Organization. Publications. Journal.
Joan of Arc Primary Sources Series Described as an ongoing monographic series of books, articles etc, available both online and in print. The stated purpose is to provide researchers with selections of the original documents - transcriptions, translations, or reproductions of the original manuscripts.
"Joan of Arc and the God of the Bible" by Chris Snidow. Recommended by Marie Veronique-Clin (co-director of the Centre Jeanne d'Arc at Orleans, France) and Virginia Frohlick (Saint Joan of Arc Center).
"Joan of Arc: The Early Debate" by Deborah Fraioli. (London: Boydell Press, 2002) This book covers the differing views on Joan among the clergy during her own lifetime - with the viewpoints being split along factional lines.
"Joan of Arc: A Military Leader" by Kelly Devries. (Gloucestershire: Sutton Publishing, 1999) A fairly brief book focusing on her military campaigns, an oft-overlooked subject since so many books focus instead on her trial instead. It received mixed reviews, but is pretty accurate.
"Joan of Arc: The Warrior Saint" by Stephen Richey. (Westport, CT: Praeger, 2003) Another book focusing on her military campaigns, written from the perspective of a modern military officer. This one generally received better reviews, largely due to the perception that an army veteran would bring a more authoritative perspective to the subject.
