This is the output of the Digital Editions course at Oxford University, a practical training course in creating a digital edition of an out of copyright text. I digitised a Victorian description of the Sir John Soane’s Museum, London. The museum presents a collection of items from a range of eras. A special aspect of this project is that the museum has remained much the same since Soane's death; in 1833, the founder John Soane secured the preservation of the collection and its presentation, through an Act of Parliament. Soane was an architect and teacher as well as a collector, and designed his museum for teaching, and included residential space and his architectural practice. The text of this edition was encoded using an XML editing software.

Archived web-pages regarding EEBO-TCP and the Test Creation Partnership, including html for TCP mission, history, projects, resources and other documentation. The Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP) ran from 1999 as an innovative collaboration between the Universities of Oxford and Michigan, funded by Jisc in the UK and by over 150 academic partner institutions worldwide. Its aim was to capture the earliest extant edition of every English-language work published during the first two centuries of printing in England, and to convert this material into fully-searchable texts. The EEBO-TCP corpus covers the period from 1473 to 1700 and is estimated to comprise more than two million pages and nearly a billion words. It represents a history of the printed word in England from the birth of the printing press to the reign of William and Mary, and it contains texts of incomparable significance for research across all academic disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, linguistics, theology, music, fine arts, education, mathematics, and science. Having previously been available only to academic institutions which subscribe to ProQuest’s Early English Books Online resource, over 25,000 texts from the first phase of EEBO-TCP were made freely available as open data in the public domain from January 2015.
