The Early English Books Online (EEBO) Text Creation Partnership and
ProQuest Information and Learning are once again sponsoring an essay
competition for undergraduate students.
The EEBO In Undergraduate Studies Essay Competition Committee is seeking
undergraduate research papers that rely on research conducted via the
Early English Books Online collection of primary texts. The panel of
judges consists of scholars, librarians, and academic contributors to
EEBO. Essays may reflect the approach of any number of academic
disciplines - history, literary studies, philosophy, anthropology,
religious studies, and more - or they may be interdisciplinary in nature.
The chief requirement is that each paper draws substantial evidence from
the works included in EEBO.
EEBO contains page images of 125,000 books listed in the Pollard and
Redgrave, Wing, and Thomason Tracts catalogs. With its substantial
coverage of printed material found in England between 1473 and 1700, EEBO
provides rich research possibilities for students interested in a wide
variety of topics in early modern studies.
For a full Call for Papers and more information on last year's winners,
please consult http://www.lib.umich.edu/eebo/education.html. The deadline
for submissions is October 31, 2002.
