The Hymnological Database HDB
The Hymnological Database (HDB) is a open access database. It allows detailed searches of hymnals from various denominations as well as individual hymns and their distribution. It not only provides information on the locations of the hymnals recorded, but also offers a wealth of individual information such as bibliographic references, denominational affiliation, prefaces, printing privileges, digitised versions, etc. The database is continuously being expanded.
The HDB is a joint project of the ‘Kirchenlied und Gesangbuch’ research centre at the Faculty of Catholic Theology of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and the University of Strasbourg (UR 4378: Théologie protestante).
