Sophie Digital Library of Works by German-Speaking Women

The Sophie Digital Library is a digital library and resource center for works produced by German-speaking women pre-17th century through the early 20th century, a group that has often been underrepresented in collections of historical printed works.

Resources available at the site include literary and journalistic texts (including some English translations), musical scores and recordings, screenplays and dramas, and a collection of colonial/travel texts. There is also an image gallery containing portraits and photographs of the artists and illustrations from some of the works. Most of the texts included in its collection are the full texts of public domain books. The project tries to make these as free as possible, in long-lasting, easy to use, open formats which can be used on any computer. The collection provides the texts as aids for research and teaching.

Publications

Since the beginning of The Sophie Project, undergraduates and graduate students, as well as faculty, have been encouraged to expand their research of German-speaking women's writing. In order to foster such research, the Sophie Project has several different initiatives:
