The H.P. Lovecraft Database Application is a project to collect all of Lovecraft’s writings into one enormous database. Due to the enormity of such a project, it is still under development and may not be available for several years. In addition, copyright issues complicate the matter. The images shown below are from an early prototype of a database that concentrated only on Lovecraft’s letters.

	Here we see the opening screen of the H.P. Lovecraft Database Application. From the Main Menu, we may select individual Works, Collections of works, print Reports, use Utilities to maintain databases, use the Edit features to cut, copy, and paste, and Quit from the program.
	We select the “Works” menu pad and from the menu that drops beneath it, we select the “Letters” pad. This activates the Letter Criteria Selection screen, into which we enter the kind of letters we are looking for. We can enter the Arkham House number for a letter, a partial Date, and we can check off the Correspondents and Keywords that relate to the letter.
	Once we’ve located the letter we’re looking for, we can view the pertinent information regarding it. If there is an Actual Date for the letter, it is displayed in two formats. Also, all the Correspondents and Keywords related to the letter are shown.
	In addition to seeing information about the letter, we can click on the “Letter” button and actually see the content of the letter. We can even Import the letter from a text file so it can be stored in the database.
