Digital Library
The Archive's digital library holds digital versions
of important primary literature, currently comprising printed works and
audio-visual media, but will ultimately include Gray's manuscripts. It is
intended to facilitate, optimize, and preserve access to digital materials via
an easy-to-use interface. A full bibliographic record and an electronic table
of contents are available for each of the printed works in the digital
library. The
9627
pages in the library are accessed via a standard page-turner
interface, which also includes a drop-down menu for direct access to
pages. All page images are also accessible via thumbnails. While this Web page
is the main entry point to the digital library
collection, there are links to individual media, editions, sections, full-text,
and pages images available from many of the Web pages in The Thomas Gray
Archive. Readers are also referred to ECCO's
digital library of Gray's works (subscription required) and to
Gray books on Google Books. Please note that the Archive
publishes the digital versions on this Web site for educational purposes only,
see the individual items for information on copyright holders. If any material
on this site inadvertently infringes copyright, please contact the editor. The audio-visual media have
been encoded in RealMedia® streaming format and should be playable with a
variety of players. Please see this Help Desk
section for more information.
