The Concert Life in 19th-Century London Database is at the heart
of a collaborative research project led by Dr Christina Bashford (University
of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; Oxford Brookes University) and Dr
Rachel Cowgill (University of Leeds). To date, the funders of the
project have been:
- University of
Huddersfield
- Oxford Brookes
University
- Arts and Humanities
Research Council UK
The aim of this project is to study large-scale change in
the nature of concert life and in the development of repertoire
in London during the 'long 19th century', drawing on contemporary
newspapers, periodicals, and concert programmes. The database,
which was programmed in ORACLE and designed by Civic
Computing, Edinburgh, is housed at the School
of Arts and Humanities, Oxford Brookes University, and
supported by its Computer
Services Department.
