Shakerpedia now has an alpha release of a searchable version of the Richmond 'Shaker Literature Bibliography'. The Bibliography has over 4000 references of books, articles and other materials by and about the Shakers.

Search here

The current state of the search will work best if you have available a copy of the printed book.

There are a number of aspects still to be worked on:

  • Current display shows simple text display of each entry.
  • The processing of the entries has had issues with some special characters like 1/2 or 1/5, messing up displaying
  • PDF's need to be loaded to allow access to original pages.
  • Some entries are not properly split from previous or next entry
  • There a number of intermediate entries that are not numbered.
  • Needs display of related symbols at the end of each entry
  • Needs linking on 'see also' entries
