        Some additional resources worth considering:  The Century
Dictionary, http://www.global-language.com/century/; Historic American
Sheet Music, http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sheetmusic/; and, of
particular importance, the ADS-L archives,
http://www.americandialect.org/.

Subject: Checklist of Electronic Resources (Draft of Version 3)

This is a draft of Version 3 of my checklist of electronic resources
valuable for English-language historical-lexicographical research.  I am
posting it to ADS-L in hopes of getting suggestions of resources I have
missed.  Please note that I am not attempting to list every minor
newspaper archive or other resources of very slight value, just
significantly valuable resources that historical lexicographers need to
be aware of.
