Early English Books Online (EEBO) - TCP (Text Creation Partnership)
http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=coll_eebo&src=alpha

EEBO

Early English Books Online (EEBO) makes available online more than 125,000 titles published between 1473 and 1700, starting with the earliest printed works in the English language. It reproduces the works listed in the Short-Title Catalogue I (Pollard & Redgrave, 1475-1640); the Short-Title Catalogue II (Wing, 1641-1700); the Thomason Tracts, a compendium of broadsides on the English Civil War printed between 1640 and 1661; and the Early English Books Tract Supplements. The works can be searched by author, title, printer, publication date, type of illustration, LC subject headings and other fields. Bibliographic records are linked to high-resolution facsimile images of the works, downloadable in Adobe PDF format. The EEBO database comprises TIFF images and their accompanying bibliographic data.

TCP

The EEBO-TCP project is an international scholarly collaboration and partnership between the British Library, Oxford University, the University of Michigan, JISC, the Council on Library and Information Resources, and ProQuest Information and Learning. This exceptional partnership has proposed to create 25,000 searchable and readable editions that link immediately to the corresponding Earley English Books Online image files. In combination, the text and image editions of these works provide a powerful research and instructional tool of unquestioned enduring value.

These have been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.
