> Many readers of this list will be aware that the first tranche (c.25k) of transcribed and marked-up books from the Text Creation Partnership's Early English Books Online (EEBO) collection goes into the public domain today.
> 
> You can read all about TCP and EEBO at http://www.textcreationpartnership.org/tcp-eebo/ <http://www.textcreationpartnership.org/tcp-eebo/> and http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/eebotcp/ <http://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/eebotcp/>

> The University of Oxford is now making this collection, together with Gale Cengage's Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO), and Readex's Evans Early American Imprints, available in various formats (TEI P5 XML, HTML and ePub) initially via the University of Oxford Text Archive at http://www.ota.ox.ac.uk/tcp/ <http://www.ota.ox.ac.uk/tcp/>, and offering the source XML for community collaborative editing via Github. For the convenience of UK universities who subscribe to JISC Historic Books, a link to page images is also provided. We hope that the XML will serve as the base for enhancements and corrections.
> 
> This catalogue also lists EEBO Phase 2 texts, but the HTML and ePub versions of these can only be accessed by members of the University of Oxford.
> 
> [Technical note]
> Those interested in working on the TEI P5 XML versions of the texts can check them out of Github, via https://github.com/textcreationpartnership/ <https://github.com/textcreationpartnership/>, where each of the texts is in its own repository (eg https://github.com/textcreationpartnership/A00021 <https://github.com/textcreationpartnership/A00021>).  There is a CSV file listing all the texts at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textcreationpartnership/Texts/master/TCP.csv <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textcreationpartnership/Texts/master/TCP.csv>, and a simple Linux/OSX shell script to clone all 32853 unrestricted repositories at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textcreationpartnership/Texts/master/cloneall.sh <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/textcreationpartnership/Texts/master/cloneall.sh>
