Currently, scholarly resources on Edwards's writings are limited to PDF files of the Center's master sermon index, miscellanies index, and indices of Edwards's correspondence. A bibliography lists 183 secondary and published primary resources on Edwards and a chronological bibliography lists 106 key articles and essays about Edwards.

There are also nine essays on Edwards, including a biography, examinations of his legacy and family life, and essays on Edwards as a man of letters, a missionary, a philosopher, a preacher, and a theologian. The website also offers 16 short descriptions of his major works, a chronology of Edwards's life with dates of his major works, and an exhibit on the difficulties of transcribing Edwards's manuscripts. This website is a useful starting point for researching Edwards, with the promise of becoming an important resource for research on his writings.
