For those who missed it: The English Short Titles Catalogue (ESTC) has finally been relaunched with the help of the Consortium of European Research Libraries (CERL) following the cyber-attack on the @britishlibrary.bsky.social. Find it here: datb.cerl.org/estc/

UPDATE: estc.printprobability.org now includes the full set of ESTC titles, not just pre-1700
When our Print & Probability collaborator UCSD grad student Nikolai Vogler heard that ESTC was down due to the BL cyberattack, he jumped into action. Here’s the site he built to help #earlymodern scholars access the essential metadata needed for teaching and research 📚 📜 estc.printprobability.org

After nearly two years running our homespun ESTC 📚📜, we’ll soon retire it at the request of the ESTC. Proud to have been part of the @print-and-prob.bsky.social team 💪, led by Nikolai Vogler, that helped our scholarly community in a time of need 💜

#18thc friends, are you missing the English Short-Title Catalogue (ESTC)?

Nikolai Vogler built a stopgap ESTC when the British Library's went offline. As of 11 Jan this site has entirety of the catalogue (though only core info available for post-1700s records). #GLAM 🗃️ #bookhistory spread the word

Digitized manuscripts back by Sept is big.

Frankly is so is servers replaced by July--that will mean faster progress on many things (incl hopetogod estc).

And we have a first winner. This is a golden contribution to the #LibraryStampMadness series, with special greetings from an unknown librarian at the British Museum, who happily stamped right under the private parts. #librarysky #booksky

Russell 1000 best-performers: VRT COKE MDB APP SARO LITE CRWD MTN ESTC LUV

worst-performers: KSS TER CAR GFS SIRI VKTX MRNA EXPE DAL VZ

All large cap sectors are down at least 1%, and none more than 2%. That is...extremely unusual.

I spy a new feature on Gale's Eighteenth Century Collections Online user interface... a link to the ESTC where it now lives at CERL. The ESTC URL shows up below the ESTC Number, which has been there since the beginning.

Dare I hope one day the ESTC and ECCO will talk again?
