The Digital Library of Classic Protestant Texts now complete
Alexander Street Press
is pleased to announce the completion of the
largest collection of Protestant writings
ever assembled electronically: the Digital Library of Classic
Protestant Texts. This database contains more than 1200 titles,
many of which have heretofore been accessible only in rare
book rooms at a handful of European institutions.
The 274 authors included in the project represent a wide
range of Protestant denominational traditions—from Reformed and
Lutheran to Anglican, Unitarian, Puritan, Quaker, and Arminian.
"Since the project began in 2001 we
have faced a number of challenges,”
says Peter Cooper, lead editor of the project. “I am
extremely proud of the way our editors and indexers have maintained
their commitment to quality and have persevered to deliver a
resource that has the potential to transform the study of the 16th
and 17th centuries. Not only
have we made hundreds of previously hard-to-find documents
readily accessible, but
we've also
thoroughly tagged and
indexed nearly half a million pages,
allowing for a depth and breadth of scholarship never before
possible."
For
more information on this database, including free trials for
institutions, contact Greg Urquhart at
gurquhart@alexanderstreet.com, 800-889-5937 x 116

Alexander Street Press reaches agreement with Boosey and Hawkes to
publish their catalog online
Alexander Street Press has reached an agreement with Boosey
and Hawkes to publish their sales catalog online, starting
with the Hawkes Pocket Scores series. This will be the first
time the popular works will be available in an online database, and
marks an important milestone for students and scholars of music.
The Hawkes Pocket Scores collection will be
published in Alexander Street’s Classical Scores Library,
which will be launched in Spring 2007. The database will then
expand to include other Boosey and Hawkes materials.
Upon completion, the database will contain over 400,000 pages
representing over 8,000 scores.
“Music students and faculty everywhere recognize Boosey
and Hawkes as the standard for high-quality classical scores,”
says Liz Dutton, Music Editor at Alexander Street, “and now, for
the first time, they will be able to access these works online
through a simple interface. Plus, for those with access to
Classical Music Library, users will be able to listen along to
related tracks while reading the scores. This is really the way
music is meant to be studied.”
Highlights of the Hawkes Pocket Scores series
includes works by many well-known 20th century composers,
such as Benjamin Britten, Aaron Copland, Bela Bartok, Leonard
Bernstein, Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and more. The
catalog also features many works by living composers, such as John
Adams, Elliott Carter, Peter Maxwell Davies, Steve Reich, and Louis
Andriessen.
