This article introduces The Boston College Jesuit Bibliography: The New Sommervogel Online ( NSO), an ongoing project of the Institute for Advanced Jesuit Studies at Boston College in conjunction with the publisher Brill. Named for the famed nineteenth-century Jesuit bibliographer Carlos Sommervogel, the NSO is the modern incarnation of a long and distinctive tradition of Jesuit bibliography. It harnesses the capabilities of the digital age to create a comprehensive, searchable, and open-access database cataloging thousands of Jesuit-themed books, book chapters, articles, and book reviews. By consolidating and organizing existing scholarship on the Society of Jesus, the new resource will provide a valuable service to scholars around the world and facilitate additional development within the already dynamic and rapidly expanding field of Jesuit studies.
