Handel Reference Database

Handel Reference Database (HRD) is the largest documentary collection on George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) and his times.^[1] It was launched in January 2008 on the server of the Center for Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities (CCARH) at Stanford University. Originally assembled by Ilias Chrissochoidis to support his PhD dissertation "Early Reception of Handel's Oratorios, 1732-1784: Narrative-Studies-Documents" (Stanford University, 2004),^[2] it now includes over 3,500 items and over 630,000 words. HRD is organized chronologically, covering the period from 1685 to 1784 and focusing on Handel's British career and reception.

HRD is listed in An International Handel Bibliography / Internationale Händel-Bibliographie: 1959-2009.^[3] Links to the database are available from the web portals of the American Musicological Society (AMS),^[4] the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS),^[5] the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (BSECS),^[1] the Society for Eighteenth-Century Music (SECM),^[6] the Stiftung Händel-Haus in Halle,^[7] and University College London's Library Services.^[8]
