I somehow get the feeling that it's not my day ...

Yeah, it's a completely open site, at least for the selected transcriptions, though not for the scanned texts they're based on ...

Technically the umbrella for a set of universities is the Text Creation Partnership ...

Ah, I won't go into details ...

Actually, you're probably lucky as the version which I'll now have to find somewhere on my computer is a damn sight more readable than the TCP version.

That's one problem with the TCP allegedly digitised text -- at the best, they're fine, at the worst, they're virtually useless if you don't have access to the originals.  I'm OK when it comes to pre-1700 texts, since I'm a paid-up member of the Renaissance Society of America, and one of the benefits is access to EEBO.  Which was the only reason I joined, to be honest.  But when it comes to 18thC texts, I'm still screwed.

Right, should backchannel you the goods anon.

Cheers,

Robin

This works -- it's independent of the phantom rooster site.  The TCCP digitalisation project.

The Text Creation Partnership people seem to have mucked up the layout somewhat, but it's the best I  can manage till I get that stupid broken link fixed.

Sorry about the previous mess, everyone, and special 'polgies to dave.

Ooops!!!  You're right -- the link to the actual text *does* seem to be screwed.  I'll get round to fixing it sometime, and send you the actual text backchannel, as that should be easier to find. 

Whereas trying to update the site does my head in ...
