New web resource: Theological Commons from Princeton Theological Seminary

To celebrate its 200th Anniversary, Princeton Theological Seminary has launched an open-access collection of digital and non-digital material held in the Seminary's Library.
Material in the collection dates from circa 975 to the 20th century and as well as covering Christianity, mission studies and theology, there are also substantial holdings on the Eastern Church, Buddhism, Islam and Judaism.
The collection is in a database format, so searches for particular topics can be refined by date, language and keyword etc.
