The Theological Commons at Princeton Theological Seminary Library is a digital library of over 76,000 books on theology and religion. The project is based on the long-standing partnership between Princeton Seminary and the Internet Archive, a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and maintaining a free and openly accessible online digital library. This project is unusual in at least two respects: First, while 35% of the volumes in the Theological Commons are from Princeton Theological Seminary Library, the majority are from the collections of other libraries. Second, all of the content in the Theological Commons is already freely accessible online through the Internet Archive, making the Theological Commons a strictly "value added" project. Its value is in the selection, curation, and presentation of the content. Join us to see the end result in action and to hear about the genesis of the project, means of digitization, selection criteria, technological infrastructure, and our software development methodology.
