Title
Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership
Description
A marked-up, full-text subset of texts from Early English Books Online, created by a consortium of academic libraries. While the full text is eventually added to the main Proquest EEBO database, at any given time this database is likely to contain slightly more of that material. As of Jan. 12, 2006 contains about 11,000 texts, with an ultimate target of size of 25,000.
Subject Keywords
English literature, history, early printed books, philosophy, religion, linguistics, history of science, fine arts
Notes
Created through the Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership, which includes the University of Michigan, the University of Oxford, the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), and ProQuest Information and Learning (originally, Bell & Howell Information and Learning). – "To accompany the citations and page images, a separate initiative, the Text Creation Partnership (TCP), is in the process of creating SGML coding for the full text of 25,000 EEBO works, so users can search the full ASCII text of the documents and view both the text and the corresponding original page images. Through their funding, research libraries can help to support - and eventually own - a richly encoded archive that's equally valuable to undergraduates writing papers on witchcraft and faculty members tracing the course of a word or concept across three centuries of English literature"--About.
