 The mandate of the Online Critical Pseudepigrapha is to develop and publish electronic editions of the best critical texts of the "Old Testament" Pseudepigrapha and related literature.

Note that in a few cases it has not yet been feasible to publish the best eclectic text of a given document. In other cases the OCP edition of a document does not yet include all of the textual evidence. Readers should consult the "text status" information on the introductory page for each document to determine whether a better or more complete text exists elsewhere.

Texts should be cited in scholarly references according to the persistent URL for the OCP site (http://www.purl.org/net/ocp), rather than the address which appears in the address bar of your web browser, as this address may change in future years.

Free books from ASOR

Many ASOR books are now available online:

 Four are available in open access on the ASOR Website:
Select Titles from the American Schools of Oriental Research Available Online at HathiTrust
The American Schools of Oriental Research is pleased to announce that 65 titles are now openly available through the partnership with Google and HathiTrust (@hathitrust on Twitter). The HathiTrust Digital Library is a digital preservation repository and highly functional access platform. It provides long-term preservation and access services for public domain and in copyright content from a variety of sources, including Google, the Internet Archive, Microsoft, and in-house partner institution initiatives.
HATHITrust has provided an ASOR Publications page - a useful starting place for research. I have also exported the records to a public Zotero group: ASOR in HATHITrust. All Zotero users are welcome to become members of that group. If you are not yet a Zotero user, this is an excellent opportunity to begin.
