The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) was launched in 1978 in Cooperstown, New York, which is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. SABR's easily navigable website allows for baseball fans, historians, and curious visitors to page through a variety of interesting materials dedicated to America's national pastime. While some materials require a subscription to view, others can be explored for free. For example, the SABR Baseball Biography Project includes biographies of over 4,700 baseball players, broadcasters, writers, umpires, and others. Each biography is fully cited and accompanied by additional resources for those interested in further reading. Similarly, the SABR Baseball Games Project includes entries about significant games throughout the history of the sport, organized by decade. Visitors can use the Research tab to browse and read archived articles from SABR's two publications, the Baseball Research Journal (published since 1972) and National Pastime (published since 2009). Visitors can also check out the frequently updated and communally authored SABR/Baseball-Reference Encyclopedia.
