- Description
- The University of Michigan, the University of Oxford, the Council on Library and Information
Resources (CLIR), and
ProQuest Information and Learning are engaged in a partnership to create structured SGML/XML text
editions
for a significant portion of the Short Title Catalog of Early English books published between 1473
and 1700. ProQuest
has already created digital images for nearly 125,000 works, distributed under the title
Early English Books Online.
The
Universities of Michigan and Oxford, with the support of the
international library community, are creating accurately
keyboarded and tagged editions of a significant portion of this
culturally significant corpus. The Early English Books
Online Text Creation Partnership has proposed to create 25,000
searchable and readable editions that link immediately to
the corresponding ProQuest image files. In combination, the text and
image editions of these works provide a powerful
research and instructional tool. As of the latest update, in November
2007, approximately 15,000 searchable titles are now available.
