SN 7021 - GerManC: A historical corpus of German texts ... - ESDS

Following a positive evaluation of the pilot, the full project was approved for support by the Economic and
Social Research Council jointly with the Arts and Humanities Research Council in early 2008 (grant no. RES-
062-23-1118). Work on it started in September 2008 with Dr Silke Scheible (now at the University of Stuttgart)
and Dr Richard J. Whitt (now at the University of Strathclyde) joining Professor Martin Durrell and Dr Paul
Bennett as Research Associates, and the project was completed in August 2011.
The complete corpus is now available through the Economic and Social Data Service archive, the Oxford Text
Archive, and the project website. At present seven of the planned eight genres are generally accessible through
these archives, the genre ‘letters’ will be released following the solution of outstanding access problems and
potential copyright issues, but interested scholars may apply to Professor Martin Durrell for access.
The corpus is available at the UK Data Archive as pdf- and rtf-files,
