[Corpora-List] BNC dates

[William Fletcher]

Mike, 
http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/docs/URG/bibliog.html gives dates (or "date unknown") of the sources.  

Dave Lee's BNC World Index contains some additional information, but it has not been updated for BNC-XML
http://www.uow.edu.au/~dlee/home/BNC_WORLD_INDEX.ZIP

Good luck!
