The Medieval and Early Modern Data Bank is a resource pro-
ject established at Rutgers University and co-sponsored by
The Resource Libraries Group, Inc. Its aim is to provide
scholars with a continually expanding reference library of
information concerning the medieval and early modern
periods, circa A.D. 800-1800. Because MEMDB is a
computer-based, electronic reference tool, it offers remark-
able facilities for immediate information retrieval and
manipulation.
In 1993 MEMDB will become available in CD-ROM, available at
a modest charge and with regular updates through Rutgers or
RLG. Its master data set will be vastly expanded. MEMDB's
scope will extend to virtually any scholarly compilation of
data that can be presented in a tabular form. New material
to be incorporated will include information on such subjects
as wages and prices, household size, mortality, property-
holdings, charity, and nutrition, drawn from such sources
as:
o+ taxation records
o+ wills and inventories
o+ parish records and vital statistics

o+ company records
o+ import/export records

In addition, MEMDB will provide important scholarly refer-
ence aids, such as:
o+ glossaries of weights and measures
o+ gazetteers of Latin and vernacular place names
o+ calendars of dates.
