History and Mission

The Database of Classical Bibliography (DCB) was created by the American Philological Association in 1989 in co-operation with the Société internationale de bibliographie classique, publishers of the Année Philologique, (APh), and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, where the project is housed. Our mission is to transform the printed volumes of the Année Philologique into a computer database in order to preserve the scholarly record of research in Greco-Roman antiquity and to make it widely available.

The DCB Database

The DCB central database, begun in 1989 under the direction of Dee L. Clayman, now contains more than 700,000 records including the entire contents of volumes 1-63 (1924-1982) of the Année Philologique. It was published on CD-ROM in 1995 and 1997. Both editions sold out and are now out of print, but they can still be consulted in university libraries.

The DCB database of retrospective bibliography is complemented by the Année Philologique's database of recent bibliography containing volumes 64-77 (1993-2006). The two have now been combined into a single database which is available online at www.annee-philologique.com.
