Dictionary of American Hymnology Project

The Dictionary of American Hymnology Project (DAH), with the support of the Oberlin College Library and the Hymn Society in the United States and Canada, provides data related to hymns and hymnwriters as well as the history of congregational song in America. The project comprises four sources for research: an index of first lines of hymns from 1640 to 1978 with a supplementary index 1978 to present; a bibliography of some 5000 hymnals published in America (1817 denominational + 3192 non-denominational); an author file; and a biographical file.
