I looked at Don's neat little project, and really like it.

However, I just don't have time to scratch-build right now.

Out of curiosity, I did an EBay search for "voltage reference standard" and 
found a guy named Joe Geller at gellerlabs.com.  He sells an assembled 
calibrator that is NIST traceable when delivered.  They start at about 
$25.00 and go up, but all are under $100.  They are available in 2.5, 5, and 
10 volt models.  If I remember correctly, his claim for accuracy is about 
0.1%.  For a few dollars more, he will use a chip that doubles that 
accuracy.

I ordered the basic model to test and/or calibrate my used HP 3466A.  I will 
put out a report on how I like it when it gets here!
