Early English Books Online —Text Creation Project
Last year we acquired the very significant Early English Books Online collection which now contains about 100,000 of over 125,000 titles listed in Pollard & Redgrave's Short-Title Catalogue (1475-1640) and Wing's Short-Title Catalogue (1641-1700) and their revised editions, as well as the Thomason Tracts (1640-1661) collection. Coverage is multidisciplinary: English literature, history, philosophy, linguistics, theology, music, fine arts, education, mathematics, and science. containing digital facsimile page images of virtually every work printed in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and British North America and works in English printed elsewhere from 1473-1700.

This year, we are making this collection even more accessible by becoming a member of the EEBO — Text Creation Project. The TCP is creating accurately keyboarded and SGML/XML encoded text editions for a significant portion of the EEBO corpus.
