Etruscan Texts Project
I haven't been keeping as close an eye on this as I should, but my alma mater, UMass, maintains an online database of Etruscan texts and other resources.
The project is headed by Prof. Rex E. Wallace, with whom I had the honor of studying Faliscan, Oscan, Umbrian, and yes Etruscan (along with a bit of Cisalpine Gaulish).
(After that class we had a department shirt emblazoned with a refrain from the purifications in the Iguvine Tables: 'place the testicles on the tray.' This was, of course, in the original Umbrian.)
The site promises a new version in development, but it's well worth checking out in its current incarnation.

A-ha, you're *that* Dennis: I was in that class (I was the high-school senior), and the shirt is in my suitcase (I'm in Italy at the moment).
