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. It is the most extensive single reference to writings by and about Shaker's. It is also many pages of references with only general sections and a basic index, this project provides digital indexing and lookup of the 2 volumes and nearly 600 pages of detailed references.
There are a number of aspects still to be worked on, giving the following state:
- Current web display shows simple text display of each entry, highlighted, with the entry before and after it.
- The processing of the entries has had issues with some special characters like 1/2 or 1/5, messing up displaying
- Each web page links to the pdf page with the main entry on the web page.
- Some entries are not properly split from previous or next entry, this is addressed by the point above.
- There a number of intermediate entries that are not numbered, since the OCR logic doesn't always get the right entry number.
- Needs highlighted display of related symbols at the end of each entry, these are in the 'Symbol Keys' popup.
- Needs linking on 'see also' entries
- Hence the current state of the search will work best if you have available a copy of the printed book.
