This database provides access to articles, essays, and lectures dealing with John Calvin and Calvinism from the 16th century to the present. In 1971 the Calvinism Resources Database (CaRD) began as a "Calvin Bibliography" covering the years 1960-1970. It was compiled by Joseph N. Tylenda, a Jesuit priest, and published in the Calvin Theological Journal.

Since that time, the Journal has published annually in its November issue the "Calvin Bibliography." The bibliography and database are maintained by the curator of the H. Henry Meeter Center for Calvin Studies and is updated regularly.
