- 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
