I have looked for hours at two sources. I have examined every puritan text you have linked to on this site, 1 by 1. I have also examined every book on the Puritan Hard Drive available through Still Water Revival Books. This site hands down is more useful and has far more titles. I have narrated some of these for my own site, such rare names as John Preston, Robert Bolton, and Obadiah Grew. To me, someone who has been narrating reformed books now in my 29th year, this is the single most important site to me on the internet.

I’ve been tremendously grateful for the PRDL over the past several years. While completing my DPhil at Oxford, finances made it very difficult for me to remain in England as I wrote my dissertation. The PRDL made it possible for me to continue my research from a makeshift office above a garage in north Idaho. Only a few years before, the research I was doing could have only been conducted in a select few libraries in the world. But these digitizing projects have made it possible for to not only conduct my own research outside of one of these libraries, but also to now begin leading my own students through the same kind of research. Many blessings on your work.

I have been on sabbatical for the past term and have found PRDL a blessing almost beyond gratitude. While not housing everything, what I have found has rivaled the Oxford Libraries (I won’t say exceeds them). The sources for my current project are so varied that finding them all in one place can hardly be hoped, but to find so many within my web browser means I can sit in my own office with coffee (you can’t do that in the Bodleian) and read away till all hours of the morning (which you can’t do in the Bod either). To all involved, thank you.
