New Advent

New Advent is a Catholic website that provides online versions of various works connected with the Church.

[1] During the visit of Pope John Paul II for World Youth Day in 1993, Knight, then a 26-year-old resident of Denver, Colorado, was inspired to launch a project to publish the 1913 edition of the 1907–1912 Catholic Encyclopedia on the Internet.

[1] Volunteers from the United States, Canada, France and Brazil helped in the transcription of the original material.

[1] Writing in Reference Reviews, Georgia State University librarian Brian K. Koy labels the website as "highly recommended".

Koy describes the website's content as straightforward and as being faithful to the text of the original works hosted on the website, but laments the relative lack of images and what he considers the overuse of hyperlinks.
