You can e-mail the webmaster of the various sites and ask if you can use their information. You'll have to cite your sources, of course…but you could also use their information in exchange for a link to their site. No harm in asking.

You can get a free web site via Tripod or you can get a rather inexpensive one from www.godaddy.com. It's really easy to use and design your website that way.
