### CANTUS database
The [CANTUS database](https://cantusdatabase.org/) is a searchable digital archive of Latin plainchants. The database contains nearly 400,000 chant records from more than 130 manuscript and early print sources. Some records already include links to digitized manuscript images and many records include transcribed chant melodies that are searchable using the [Melody Search tool](https://cantusdatabase.org/melody).
### The Cantus Database

The CANTUS database is a collaborative endeavour. Chant scholars world-wide collect and catalogue inventories of early liturgical chant manuscripts. Through the CANTUS database, these inventories become available to other scholars and the public.

Currently housed at the University of Waterloo under the direction of Debra Lacoste, the CANTUS database began in the late 1980s with Ruth Steiner at the Catholic University of America. Between 1998 and 2012 the database was housed at the University of Western Ontario under the direction of Terence Bailey.
