This website looks quite promising:

Foundation for the Advancement of Sephardic Studies and Culture
http://www.sephardicstudies.org/

Launched in January 2002, the new web site of the Foundation for the
Advancement of Sephardic Studies and Culture (FASSC) showcases the work
of the organization: "preserving and promoting the complex and
centuries-old culture of the Sephardic communities of Turkey, Greece,
the Balkans, Europe and the U.S." The FASSC also promotes the
preservation and study of, and devotes an entire section to, Ladino
---the Judeo-spanish language. In May, the FASSC site hosted a Ladino
Internet audio-chat session, and future chats are planned. Other
sections of the web site feature FASSC publications, including books,
videos, and exhibits; and the
FASSC Digital Archives of Sephardica, images of historic Sephardic texts
such as a 1695 haggadah from Amsterdam; Hakham Yehuda Ha'Levi Poem,
1586; and calendars from Sephardic communities in Paris, Salonica,
Constantinople and Buenos Aires.
