ATU Index in a Google Spreadsheet

In my reading on motifs and common themes, I was looking for an accessible version of the Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index. I couldn’t find one. I did find a wonderful Finnish website called Folklore Fellow Communications that gave me the access to the 2011 printings of The Types of International Folktales Volumes I-III. Link to the books can be found here.

Using volumes I-II for reference, I made a spreadsheet so that the folktales listed in the ATU can be more easily read. I’ve seen some people say it’s a great use for story prompts. I enjoy it for the sake of widening my imagination while still finding the common humanity. Please do not hesitate to use the source books for more detailed reading. The link to the spreadsheet is below.
