The Thomas Gray Archive
<info@thomasgray.org>

This evolving digital library holds digital versions of important primary literature, currently published (printed) works and audio-visual media, and 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 6071 individual 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 in groups of 20. While this Web page is the main entry point to the digital library collection, there are links to individual media, editions, sections, texts, and pages 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 can be played using RealPlayer®.
