static text but rather to add value to the text by
linking to supporting documents expressly referred to
in the body of the text.
- The On-Line
Books Page is a directory of books that can be
freely read right on the Internet.
- The On-Line Books Page was founded in 1993 by John
Mark Ockerbloom, formerly a graduate student in
computer science at Carnegie Mellon University who
moved his site to the University of Pennsylvania. He
remains the editor of the pages, and gladly accepts
suggestions for new listings. The index of individual
titles includes books and definitive collections that
meet these criteria.

employs the "gopher" internet technology, which
predates web browsers
- Wiretap, according to its self-description, "has
been in dozens of books (Planet Internet, Cultural
Treasures of the Internet, Yellow Pages, etc), and
innumerable newspapers, including the New York Times.
It is probably the single useful gopher resource
remaining on the Internet." Political researchers are
likely to be most interested in its Government
& Civics Archive. When you go there, you'll
see a different type of format, but just click on a
title and you'll see the text.
- The Electronic
Text Center is at the University of Virginia
- The Center combines an on-line archive of

with a library service that offers hardware and
software suitable for the creation and analysis of
text. Through ongoing training sessions and support of
teaching and research projects, the Center is building
a diverse user community locally, serving thousands of
users globally, and providing a model for similar
humanities computing enterprises at other
institutions.

Good
Practice in the Creation and Use of Digital
Resources- The AHDS is publishing a series of Guides
providing the humanities research and teaching
communities with practical instruction in applying
recognised standards and good practice to the creation
and use of digital resources. Some of the Guides focus
on methods and applications relevant to humanities
disciplines, such as history, archaeology, visual
arts, performing arts and textual and linguistic
studies. Others address those areas which cross
disciplinary boundaries. All Guides identify and
explore key issues and provide comprehensive pointers
for those who need more specific information. As such
they are essential reference materials for anyone
interested in computer-assisted research and teaching
in the humanities.
- Digitising
History
- This guide to creating, documenting and preserving
digital resources derived from historical documents,
is intended as a reference work for individuals and
organisations involved with, or planning, the
computerisation of historical source documents. It
aims to recommend good practice and standards that are
generic and relevant to a range of data creation
situations, from student projects through to
large-scale research projects. The guide focuses on
the creation of tabular data which can be used in
databases, spreadsheets or statistics packages. Many
of the guidelines are, however, applicable to other
more textual methodologies. The guide includes a
glossary and a bibliography of recommended reading,
and offers guidance about:
- Effectively designing and managing a data
creation project.
- Transferring historical source documents into
digital form and designing a database.
- Choosing appropriate data formats and ensuring
that a digital resource can be preserved without
significant information loss.
- Documenting a data creation project.
