The Early Americas Digital Archive (EADA)
http://mith.umd.edu/eada/
Introduction
http://mith.umd.edu/eada/intro.php
"The Early Americas Digital Archive (EADA) is a collection of electronic
texts and links to texts originally written in or about the Americas from
1492 to approximately 1820. Open to the public for research and teaching
purposes, EADA is published and supported by the Maryland Institute for
Technology in the Humanities (MITH) under the general editorship of
Professor Ralph Bauer, at the University of Maryland at College Park."
.
"The EADA Database and the "Gateway to Early American Authors on the WEB"
EADA consists of two basic components:
a) the EADA Database and
b) the "Gateway to Early American Authors on the WEB."
"a) In the EADA Database, you can find texts that are housed at EADA
itself and that have been encoded using TEI, which makes it possible for
you to search for specific terms, such as author, title, and subject,
within and across the texts. EADA vouches for the accuracy of the header
information as well as for the authenticity and quality of the texts
contained in its database, which is continually and gradually expanding.
If you do not find the early American text you are looking for in the EADA
database, you may also consult the
b) Gateway to Early American Authors on the WEB, which allows you to
browse a list of early American authors whose texts are available both on
sites that others have posted on the World Wide Web as well as texts from
this site, the Early Americas Digital Archive. Texts external to the EADA
Database cannot be searched with the EADA Search Engine; nor can EADA
vouch for the authenticity or quality of any of the texts external to its
database and referred to in the Gateway."
.
Why an electronic archive of early American texts?
"The foremost advantages of a digital archive are cost efficiency and
accessibility. To date, only a fraction of early American texts is
readily available in inexpensive paper-back editions. Typically, those
early American texts easily available in print have been selected for
canonicity from the point of view of the various later
literary-historical narratives that have emerged during the nineteenth,
twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. In order to consult texts not
readily available in commercial print media, scholars must physically
visit archives and libraries or order items through interlibrary loan.
Being less dependent on the economic pressures of commercial publishing
in print, an on-line archive such as EADA can thus provide the foundation
for truly multiple literary-historical narratives. Unlike several digital
archives of early American texts already existing on the internet, EADA
is offered as a public service free of charge."
.
"The second advantage is searchability. Texts included in EADA have been
encoded in Extensible Markup Language (XML), following The Text Encoding
Initiative Guidelines (TEI), "an international and interdisciplinary
standard that helps libraries, museums, publishers, and individual
scholars represent all kinds of literary and linguistic texts for online
research and teaching, using an encoding scheme that is maximally
expressive and minimally obsolescent.
.
The TEI provides for very detailed textual encoding to facilitate
multi-faceted document retrieval. For example, not only can documents be
searched via plain text, but they can be retrieved through a rich scheme
of meta-information contained in the headers of each text."
