Byzantine Studies Bibliographies
Libraries
It is likely that the best collection of books and journals for Byzantine studies is
that at the library at Dumbarton Oaks, in Washington DC.
Much of that library's catalog is available on line through the HOLLIS system of
Harvard University. It is the premiere place for any bibliographic inquiry about
Byzantium. If you have TELNET client hooked up to your web browser you can reach HOLLIS at telnet://hollis.harvard.edu The Harvard
University Libraries Webpage is at http://www.harvard.edu/home/library.html
From Mid 1998, Dumbarton Oaks put its own catalog online - Dumbarton Oaks: Library Online. So now,
by far the most important library for Byzantine studies is searchable online.
In some respects the best library available via the Internet is the University of
California System, MELVYL, although larger libraries, such as Harvard, the Library of
Congress, Oxford University, and the New York Public are on line, the virtue of the
California system is that it has cataloged virtually all its collections. Many others have
cut off dates in the early 1970s. One you get the hang of the MELVYL system it can even be
set to email bibliographic date to you in a form that can be read by bibliographic
programs. If you have TELNET client hooked up to your web browser you can reach MELVYL at telnet://melvyl.ucop.edu
