摘要

Imagine having at your desktop page images of books printed in English from the dawn of English hand printing in 1475 through the English Renaissance, the tumultuous years of the Civil War, the Interregnum and the Restoration to 1700. Picture yourself typing in a keyword such as an author's or printer's name and having the entire work, be it a one-page broadside or a thousand-page Bible, appear on the screen and be available to read or print. This project, perhaps the most ambitious microfilm to digital conversion attempted thus far, is digitising over 22 million page images from UMI's Early English Books Ⅰ & Ⅱ and Thomason Tracts microfilm research collections, bringing scholars unparalleled access to this valued content. The goal of this project is to provide scholars with a single source for research on works printed between 1475 and 1700, including bibliographic citations, full-page images and ASCII-encoded text. This paper details the development of the production requirements and technical specifications for the project and reviews the large-scale digitisation process installed to convert the microfilm images. The key role of university and library partnerships will also be reviewed.
