Black Drama contains the full text of 1,200 plays written from the mid-1800s to the present by more than 150 playwrights from North America, English-speaking Africa, the Caribbean, and other African diaspora countries. Many of the works are rare, hard to find, or out of print. James Vernon Hatch, the playwright, historian, and curator of the landmark Hatch-Billops Collection, is the project's editorial advisor. Nearly a quarter of the collection will consist of previously unpublished plays by writers such as Langston Hughes, Ed Bullins, Willis Richardson, Amiri Baraka, Randolph Edmonds, Zora Neale Hurston, and many others.
Each play is extensively and deeply indexed, allowing both keyword and multi-fielded searching. The plays are accompanied by reference materials, significant ancillary information, a rich performance database, and images. The result is an exceptionally deep and unified collection from Alexander Street Press that illustrates the many purposes that black theater has served: to give testimony to the ancient foundations of black culture; to protest injustices; to project emerging images of the New Black; and to give voice to the many and varied expressions of black creativity.

They have been forced to defend positions, justify actions, correct perceptions, protest injustice, celebrate cultural achievement, and confront the agenda of a white-dominated society.
The collection encompasses 100,000 pages of materials, beginning with the ideas of Frederick Douglass and including those of W.E.B. Du Bois, Carter G. Woodson, Alain Locke, Paul Robeson, Booker T. Washington, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Langston Hughes, Muhammad Ali, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ida B. Wells, Nikki Giovanni, Mary McLeod Bethune, Carl Rowan, Roy Wilkens, James Weldon Johnson, Audre Lorde, Thurgood Marshall, A. Philip Randolph, Constance Baker Motley, J. Saunders Redding, Sojourner Truth, Walter F. White, Amiri Baraka, and dozens more.

Newton, and a long list of others.

- British and Irish Women's Letters and Diaries
Extending back to the 1500s, the collection will show researchers the various shapes and formats of the diary as it evolved, including the travel diary, offering detailed accounts of journeys and descriptions of places; the daily personal diary, in which women reflected more broadly on aspects of their lives; letter diaries, wherein a daily dated letter to a recipient served simultaneously as a diary entry; and other forms.
British and Irish Women's Letters and Diaries includes approximately 100,000 pages of material assembled from numerous bibliographies and from newly conducted research. Alongside the published material are 4,000 facsimile pages of previously unpublished manuscripts. Because the project captures materials that are written contemporaneously, readers see the honest, often stark perspective of the moment, as opposed to the self-censored attitudes that can appear in a memoir.
All forms of diaries - religious, travel, and journalistic - enrich the content of the collection. The mix of topics includes Australia, actresses, China, convent life, courtesans, court life, criminals, families, festivals and fairs, hospital work, literary society and life, missionaries, Palestine, political life, educators, railroads, scientists, social reformers, voyages, world tours, women soldiers and sailors to list just a few of the many subjects that are indexed.
Both the famous and the unknown populate the collection. The lives and thoughts of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Eliot, Mary Shelley, Queen Victoria, Frances Kemble, Queen Elizabeth, Mary Wollstonecraft, Christina Rossetti, Florence Nightingale, and Maude Gonne can be compared with the experiences and ideas of ordinary women from all walks of life. The result is a collection that brings to life the thoughts, observations, habits, pastimes, and daily habits reflecting the collective consciousness of women from the 16th to the 20th centuries.
Among the newest additions to the collections are materials licensed from The Imperial War Museum in London, including the unpublished letters and diaries of women who served during both world wars, and the letters and diaries of famous literary women such as Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, and Dorothy Wordsworth, licensed from Oxford University Press.
Many of the letters and diaries appear in a wide range of print publications, including books, journals, magazines, and newspapers. Only in this database from Alexander Street Press do they exist together, in electronic form and deeply indexed, allowing scholars to access, compare, and question as never before.

elementsdb
elementsdb catalogues comparably illustrated and measured examples of urban land uses. It is based on the concept that urban form is comprised of replicable elements (or cases) - parcels of land and public rights of way - that can be categorized by land use: open space; streets; residential; commercial; civic; and industrial, and can be organized by type and intensity.
Each elementsdb case is based on a real example, and is measured and illustrated to rigorous standards and graphic conventions. Included are data such as density, Floor Area Ratio (FAR), building and site use and coverage, and illustrative data such as photos, plans, and 3D models. Most information is collected from public sources and simplified from the source data for clarity and comparability.
This is a beta version of elementsdb. New cases are added regularly. You are seeing the "public" view- a shallow subset of the information available about each case. You are welcome to explore and use the database. We also welcome your feedback.

The essays relate directly to the source material covered by the online publication with 30-50 hypertext links per essay to documentary evidence. Empire Online brings together the latest academic work with immediate access to relevant original documents. The project offers good quality, meaningful content that academics can readily integrate into their courses. The thematic essays introduce students to the material, suggest possible approaches, and place the documents within a broad historical, literary and cultural context.

The database will be of particular interest for the study of feminism and women's studies. Alexander Street Press's Semantic Indexing makes it possible to find and analyze particular dialogue, characters, and events, providing answers to these questions from the preface to Women in American Theatre, by Helen Krich Chinoy and Linda Walsh Jenkins:
Where do women fit in? Where can they make a living, have a career, and create authentic theatre art from women's lives? Is there a feminine sensibility in theatre creation? Is it the result of nature (some essential female quality) or of nurture (the socialization that makes us feminine or masculine)? Do women directors approach their tasks in markedly different ways from the practices of male directors? Do women view the sacrifices and spoils of conventional success as men do? Can they or should they try to break the "Broadway barrier?" Do women playwrights have something special to say as women, not just as individual artists? Do they create in a distinctive way, use unique forms, speak a long-silenced "mother tongue"
The following authors are included: Susan Glaspell, Sophie Treadwell, Rachel Crothers, Gertrude Stein, Beth Henley, Carol Bolt, Cherríe Moraga, Dorothy Heyward, Zona Gale, Zora Neale Hurston, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Megan Terry, Rochelle Owens, Shirley Graham DuBois, Jeannie Barroga, and many others...more than a hundred in all.
