Corpora: Locating sources of corpora

[Sam Chiles]

Hello all

I am new to the world of Corpora and have recently been recruited to locate sources of Corpora for a new library in development by Microsoft. They are currently licensing English language text data covering any subject to use for linguistic software, such as grammar checkers. Could anyone give me a few pointers toward any type of corpora that could be available for use by Microsoft? 

Thank you 
Sam
