Christian Resource Institute (CRI)--as its name suggests--has many resources pertaining to Christianity. I am particularly interested in the sections describing the psalms and specific subgenres such as lament, thanksgiving, and salvation history. Dennis Bratcher's lucid writing makes the material accessible and the site is well organized.
Introducing the Psalms
Psalm Classification Chart
Patterns for Life: Structure, Genre, and Theology in Psalms
I found another helpful psalm chart on UsefulCharts.com. Instead of presenting psalms by categories, Matt Baker (the chart's creator) chooses to list them as they sequentially occur in Protestant versions of the Bible. he has helfpully color-coded the psalms and includes not only genre but also psalm authorship and notes.
Matt Baker's Psalm Chart
Hermann Gunkel, a deceased German Old Testament scholar, offers an extensive psalm classification method as summariezed in A Form-Critical Classification of the Psalms According to Hermann Gunkel. Though no chart is included, a partial one could be developed based on various psalms listed as exemplars as a form.
