First issued in 1817 to list music then available in print and covering the period from about 1780 until 1815. Ten supplements were issued from 1818 until 1827. In 1828 a second edition of the Handbuch was issued. In 1829, Whistling issued a supplement to the 1828 edition and then started issuing monthly updates, the Monatsbericht, which was soon taken over by Hofmeister. Hofmeister Monatsbericht Monthly publication 1829-1900 giving details of publisher issues of over 330,000 titles. Mirror ONB (Austria National Library) hosted - has scans of images of the pages of each(?) month of the published Monatsberichte from 1829 to 1947, without the search feature or text transcriptions of their official site but with greater range. Hathi Trust Digital Library currently has eight volumes of the Hofmeister Monatsbericht from the 1890s that are searchable. Additional volumes in their collection are non PD-US and support only a limited search. Friedrich Hofmeister, Jahresverzeichnis (Annual Index). Hathi Trust Digital Library currently has searchable volumes for the years 1858-1863, 1877-1888, and 1890-1908. Those that are non PD-US support only a limited search. Hathi Trust's PD-US volumes are available on IMSLP. Friedrich Hofmeister, Handbuch der Musikalischen Literatur. Individual volumes cover multiple years. Hathi Trust Digital Library currently has searchable volumes for the years 1845-1859, 1868-1885, 1892-1918. Additional volumes covering the years from 1919 to 1933 support only a limited search. Hathi Trust's PD-US volumes are available on IMSLP. Franz Pazdírek, Universal-Handbuch der Musikliteratur aller Zeiten und Völker. Produced between 1904 and 1910 the volumes serve as a listing of "music in print." Apparently, 34 volumes were produced but it seems possible that later printings combined volumes as some editions claim 13 volumes. Hathi Trust Digital Library has a searchable set of volumes 2 to 13. The Internet Archive appears to have a complete run of a 19 volume edition and 28 volumes from another edition.
