accompanied by a full bibliographic record. We invite libraries to
include bibliographic
information on texts of interest in local online catalogs. Catalog
records for these
electronic texts are available in OCLC’s Worldcat and in UNC-CH’s
OPAC at:

"Early Canadiana Online (ECO) is a full text online collection of more
than 3,000 books and pamphlets documenting Canadian history from the first
European contact to the late 19th century. The collection is particularly
strong in literature, women's history, native studies, travel and exploration,
and the history of French Canada. The Early Canadiana Online (ECO) collection
is made up of images of the pages in the selected books and pamphlets. After
searching by title, author, subject, or keyword and finding a text you wish to
look at, you will see a scanned image of the page of the volume. Optical
Character recognition (OCR) has been performed on the images to enhance

The goal of the Victorian Women Writers Project is to produce highly
accurate transcriptions of literary works by British women writers of the late
19th century, encoded using the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).
The works, selected with the assistance of the Advisory Board, will include
anthologies, novels, political pamphlets, and volumes of poetry and verse
drama. Considerable attention will be given to the accuracy and completeness
of the texts, and to accurate bibliographical descriptions of them."
