it seems that they also have vols. 4 & 5, if you click on Henri Leclercq's
fertile link
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=Dictionnaire%20d%27arch%C3%A9ologie%20chr%C3%A9tienne%20et%20de%20liturgie
3 out of 30, that's not too bad.
vols. 4 & 5 are apparently the work of the Princeton Theological Seminary,
which has quite a few things on line which might be of interest for those
interested in suchlike Guff:
http://www.archive.org/browse.php?field=subject&mediatype=texts&collection=princeton
oh, wow, the (complete? dare we hope?) Philological and Biographical Works of
Charles Butler.
i've been looking all over for that one.
(N.b., Archive.org also has *some* of the vols. of Hefele-Leclercq's wonderful
Histoire des conciles... --which is a fine resource.)
hundreds of times more than were available on-line 20 years ago.

reference work,
yeah, well, some might think so.
>so this is perhaps a result of the wretched metadata associated with many
digital texts, including Google Books, on which see here
<http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=1701>.
looks like an interesting site.
will read it and get back to you, thanks, Paul.
the process, apparently, is to have the whole damned Process is Untouched by
Human Hands.
that way, you don't have to waste money hiring some jobless Akademic for
$35K/ann. to do minimal oversight of your multi-million dollar project, which
is an important consideration when considering your Bottom Line.
besides, the "book" is there, en principe --which is the only thing that's
really important.
>Permanent archiving and findability (findableness?)
close.
findabilitivelyness is the preferred form, in the U.S. dialect.
>of digitized texts remain a big challenge, in spite of efforts such as
OAI-PMH, DOI, &c.
> Another annoyingly incomplete digital text is the Gallica Ur-version of Acta
Sanctorum, which is lacking three volumes.
well, probably just the vols with those pesky Minor Saints of the Regno nobody
cares about.
i could add --and will-- the paltry few (3, 4?) vols. of the Gallia Christiana
which are the only ones on Gallica.
or the incomplete set --different vols.-- of Fisquet's "translation" of the
G.C.
but, hey, at least Google has an excuse for it's lack of findabilitivelyness
--the B.n. is, supposedly, a library.
>Did they fall off the trolley on the way to the scanner?
non.
it was time for lunch.
and all the books *are* there, en principe.
both Projects conceived by Geniuses, to be executed by Morons.
