About the Digital Tradition Server
About the Digital Tradition Folk Song Server
The Digital Tradition is a data base containing the words and music to
thousands of folk songs. These songs have been collected over the last
six years by Dick Greenhaus
and friends.
Originally distributed as a free PC DOS program with full text search
and audio playback, the Digital Tradition is now also available for
Macintosh computers, as plain ASCII text (e.g. for UNIX systems), and
most recently via a
World-Wide Web (WWW) Internet server.
Please read Dick Greenhaus'
Introduction,
Official Rules
and
Technical Details
from the PC version.
The World-Wide Web Digital Tradition Server
In October 1993, Steve
Putz
created a World-Wide Web Server (on
pubweb.parc.xerox.com) that allows
users with an Internet connection to search for and display songs
interactively using any of several freely available WWW clients. The
WWW server can even provide audio of the song tunes for some systems.
Before using the WWW server, please read
How to Search The Digital Tradition.
For more information about World-Wide Web, see
About the WWW Project.
