From Michelle Dalmau, Interim Head of Digital Collections Services at Wells Library, Indiana University:
In honor of Open Access Week, and motivated by a recent mock keynote debate, “A Matter of Scale,” presented by Matt Jockers and Julia Flanders as part of the Boston Area Days of Digital Humanities Conference, I present for exploration, re-use and re-mixing outside of their native interfaces TEI (P4 & P5) and plain text files of the following e-text collections published by the Indiana University (IU) Libraries:
- Indiana Magazine of History, one the nation’s oldest scholarly historical journal, 1905-2011 (TEI P4)
- Victorian Women Writers Project, 1830-1929 (TEI P5)
- Indiana Authors and Their Books, 1850-1929 (TEI Lite P4)
- Brevier Legislative Reports, transcripts from Indiana State Legislature, 1858-1887 (TEI P5)
- Wright American Fiction,1851-1875 (TEI P5)
