Haynes catalog
The Haynes Catalog is a online catalog for historic oboe music.
Using this catalog, musicians and researchers can inform themselves about lost and surviving music, in original manuscripts and in modern editions. Users can add comments to communicate informationabout the music; this is particularly useful for ongoing research on oboe music.
According to feedback from users, the catalog has become a standard tool for anyone working on oboe music up to 1800 – musicians as well as researchers.
The data is maintained by Peter Wuttke, who is an oboist specialized on baroque and classical oboes.
Technically, the application is a simple Ruby on Rails application. It uses a versioning mechanism to track the changes made by Peter.
