HOW
THE COMPUTER CATALOGUES WORK
The On-line Discography is extracted from the main computer catalogue. Each of the Microsoft Access databases
are catalogues in their own right, working in conjunction to create the most comprehensive catalogue of choir recordings ever
compiled.
DISCOGRAPHY CATALOGUE
This
catalogues every known recording, whether in the collection or not and is updated with all new releases. The Discography
also catalogues the Audio Visual, Documentary, Photographic and Library Archive of the Collection and is searchable
by :

Director of Music
Types of choir (Cathedral,
Collegiate, Treble Choir, etc)
MUSIC CATALOGUE :
This catalogues each individual work on every
recording in the collection and is searchable by :

CHORISTER
INDEX ; This unique feature of the Music Catalogue
is something of which I am particularly proud. The Chorister Index is searchable by :
Individual Choristers
Choirs
Searching for a chorister by name will list every solo, irrespective of length,
which he has recorded. The index also lists any photographs
and articles, either written about or written by, that chorister, together with Audio Visual recordings, awards and any other
relevant information. Searching by a choir will list all their
choristers, together with the work, who have ever recorded a solo.
CHOIRS IN THE COLLECTION : This database
lists every choir in the collection, showing which type of choir, its original and current vocal composition and much other
information. It is seachable by :
