The Humanities Library has recently acquired access to the Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCIP) database. Our original version of EEBO ( //libraries.mit.edu/get/eebo) provides complete page images of 125,000 works in all fields written between 1475 and 1700.
Our new version (//libraries.mit.edu/get/eebotcp) provides fully searchable modernized transcriptions of a portion of those works. The two databases are linked so you can see the hits in both databases when you perform a search in either. Both databases were purchased with support from MIT’s School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
