DIRECTORY OF ELECTRONIC TEXT CENTERS Date: August 8, 1994 Compiled by Mary Mallery (mallery@eden.rutgers.edu) Introduction 1. Electronic Text Centers 1.1 United States 1.2 Canada 1.3 Europe 1.4 Asia 1.5 Other Countries 2. Humanities Computing Centers 2.1 United States 2.2 Canada 2.3 Europe 2.4 Asia 2.5 Other Countries 3. Archives 3.1 United States 3.2 Canada 3.3 Europe 3.4 Asia 3.5 Other Countries ***** INTRODUCTION This Directory is the first compilation of answers received from a query to various LISTSERVs asking for information about "electronic text centers," a new kind of resource in the library world and as such it is hard to define. I received many responses from centers which serve their communities with more than electronic text; many include multimedia laboratories or humanities computing facilities as well. Hopefully, this Directory will help us to communicate with one another and perhaps to come to some consensus as to our role in the world of academic resource sharing. This Directory is by no means complete. The list of new electronic text centers is growing day by day. For this reason, this Directory will be updated on a regular basis. It will be available in an html version on the WWW server of the Center for Electronic Texts in the Humanities (CETH), which is scheduled to be online in the Fall, 1994. If you have new information about your center or information about other electronic text centers, please write to Mary Mallery at mallery@eden.rutgers.edu. When I was compiling this Directory, the question came up as to whether ELECTRONIC LIBRARIES should be listed as well. Because many times libraries begin by implementing an Electronic Library and then open an Electronic Text Center, they may seem interchangeable, but they are not. Bill Drew's gopher has the best list that I have found of Electronic Libraries (with 65 listings). Visit him at URL: gopher://SNYMORVB.CS.SNYMOR.EDU:70/11gopher_root1: [library-docs.other-electronic-libraries]. For more information on HUMANITIES COMPUTING CENTERS, consult Willard McCarty's gopher for the Centre for Computing in the Humanities at the University of Toronto at: gopher.epas.utoronto.ca. Look in the section entitled "Resources,centres, organizations, and societies." For a more comprehensive Directory of electronic text ARCHIVES, visit the Clearinghouse for Subject-Oriented Internet Resource Guides on the University of Michigan gopher: una.hh.lib.umich.edu. Also, there is an excellent listing of electronic CORPORA compiled by Dr. Jane A. Edwards from the University of California, Berkeley, available off the Norwegian Computing Centre gopher at nora.hd.uib.no. Finally, you can access Georgetown University's Catalogue of Projects in Electronic Texts, or CPET through gopher.georgetown.edu where they compiled an Index of Projects by Geographical Location. Thank you to all the people who responded to my queries. Most of the listings below were provided by the contact person, though occasionally I used information from a gopher or listserv discussion group. Finally, this Directory would not have been possible without the support of Susan Hockey at CETH and Prof. Kathleen Burnett at the School of Communications, Information and Library Studies at Rutgers. ***** 1.

Carnegie Mellon runs many of them, providing services to students and some employees. In 1991 the CMU English Department sponsored a server of its own--to be run by graduate students--for _public_ distribution of research, criticism, novels, hypertext, and miscellaneous writings >From humanities disciplines. In the past two years we have added FTP, world-wide web, telnet, gopher, Mosaic, finger and e-mail services. This server is open to anyone at Carnegie Mellon or on the Internet. It is a member-run cooperative, sharing some writings with the public and others only among our members. There have been ventures recently to make the Internet profitable for information-brokerage businesses; this is not one of those. The Server hopes to demonstrate a potential in collaborative uses of communications technologies for education. Membership, editorial and voting privileges are available to faculty, students, and staff in the CMU English Department. The English Server is run entirely by our members' volunteer labor. ***** 3.1.4 Project Gutenberg NAME: Project Gutenberg MAILING ADDRESS: P.O.

Copies of the texts conforming to the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines (and parsed against the Oxford Text Archive DTD) will be available for use with the user's own text analysis software. ["Guidelines for Submission" are available on the World Wide Web server and via anonymous ftp from the addresses below]. This HTML text will be prepared for use through World Wide Web clients such as Mosaic and Cello. Mosaic is a very useable front end, and HTML is an easily-learned hypertext markup system that has excellent digital image capability (so that full color images of textual or contextual materials can be included in the edition, e.g., facsimiles of mss or printed pages, etc.).

Currently (June 1994) we have about 200 texts online. These texts include a wide variety of genres, from novels, poetry, plays, and essays, to political writings, religious tracts, and midwives' manuals. Originally encoded in a WWP SGML format, using rough versions of TEI P1 and P2, these texts are now in the process of being converted to an augmented version of TEI P3. At present WWP texts are available in hard copy suitable for classroom use and research (write to the Project for a text list), with a selection available in print editions published by Oxford University Press. Electronic access to our SGML/TEI source files is currently only by special arrangement, pending stabilization of our encoding system, final editorial certification of our encoded transcripts, and the development of an adequate apparatus for bibliographic control. By the end of 1995 they expect to make the electronic textbase available over the Internet, via an SGML-based World Wide Web server. ***** 3.3 ARCHIVES IN EUROPE ***** INDEX TO INSTITUTIONS LISTED: GHETA, Germany 3.3.1 IKS, Germany 3.3.2 Leeds U., UK 3.3.3 OTA, UK 3.3.4 ***** 3.3.1 Groningen Historical Electronic Text Archive (GHETA) NAME: Groningen Historical Electronic Text Archive ADDRESS: Department of ALFA-INFORMATICA Faculty of Arts, History & Computing, University of Groningen, The Netherlands CONTACT: George M.

To log off BCMSV, type "q" in the search screen, and press twice. Please note that downloading as such in not possible. RESOURCES: The BCMSV database has been publicly available over the Internet, free of charge, since 1 March 1994. A user guide is available on request. BCMSV (standing for Brotherton Collection Manuscript Verse) is a database of the individual items of English poetry contained in the 17th and 18th century manuscripts belonging to the Brotherton Collection of Leeds University Library. The items in question range from contemporary copies of poems by writers like Dryden and Pope at one literary extreme to popular tags and epitaphs at the other. Many of the manuscripts are miscellanies and commonplace books which have never been indexed, and their contents have consequently remained largely unknown to scholars. BCMSV is a free-text database which uses the BRS/SEARCH information retrieval system. It has been in progress for a number of years, and currently contains records for some 2550 separate poems, but not full-text. It is regularly updated. Each record in the database may have up to seventeen fields, including first lines, last lines, attribution, author, title, date, length, verse-form, and content. Further information about any item or manuscript will gladly be supplied on request. Copies of the BCMSV user guide are freely available. To obtain a copy, please send your name and address to the address above. ***** 3.3.4 OXFORD TEXT ARCHIVE NAME: Oxford Text Archive ADDRESS: OUCS, 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN, UK CONTACT: Lou Burnard E-MAIL: ARCHIVE@OXFORD.AC.UK PHONE: +44 (865) 273238 FAX: +44 (865) 273275 RESOURCES: The Oxford Text Archive is a facility provided by Oxford University Computing Services.
