Registration for Academic Institutions, Parishes, and other Catholic Groups

Academic Institutions Universities and other academic institutions can register using this link. You will be able to add your domain for emails, and everybody with that email domain will be able to register for free. We are planning text-sharing initiatives with universities who subscribe for ten years. We are looking for funding to develop the site, not to hold onto things forever. You can optionally add a small banner logo to the site when your users access it.

Parish and other Catholic Groups can register using this link. You will receive a group code that allows for 100 free registrations. You can also add group members by bulk cut and paste of their emails instead. With reasonable justification, we are happy to raise those limits without additional cost. You can optionally add a small banner logo to the site when your users access it.

If you would like to sponsor the site with a hyperlinked logo for all site visitors who are not logged in (a much larger but obviously targeted group of people), please click here for more information.

Libraries Download free MARC records with book permalinks. Almost every book has at least the viaf and lccn id of the author (there are a handful of authors that have never been entered into either system yet...), a smaller subset have viaf ids of the work. Dual text works have both languages listed. This is a curated set to exclude less interesting items like modern prefatory remarks, but still contains over 5000 books as of 2026.03.

Note: These marc records are regenerated with every site update, so they are always current.
