I like to use webquests, but it's rare to find one with all working links that exactly fits your learning situation. I think part of the reason is that so many of them were completed as part of an education class requirement; when the class is over, the maintenance of the webquest is not a priority anymore.
That said, it is a good idea to look and see what's our there. You can even put the topic you are interested in +webquest into a search engine and come up with quite a bit. My big problem with webquests is the number of teachers who say they are doing a webquest when they are just doing a glorified scavenger hunt. A good webquest will have the students use some higher level thinking skills to create some type of product to match the objectives of the webquest.
