The resulting analogue publishing system supplied the authorized print monographs that academic institutions newly required for faculty tenure and promotion. That publishing system – as each of its components – was bounded, stable, identifiable, well ordered, and well policed. As successive financial shocks battered both the country in general and scholarly publishing in particular, just a decade after its final formation, the analogue system went into extended decline. Finally, it is now giving way to a digital scholarly publishing system whose configuration and components are still obscure and in flux, but whose epistemological bases differ from the analogue system in almost all important respects: it will be relatively unbounded and stochastic, composed of units that are inherently amorphous and shape shifting, and marked by contested authorization of diverse content. This digitally driven, epistemic system shift in scholarly publishing may well be an extended work in progress, since the doomed analogue system is still fiscally dominant with respect to monographs, and the nascent digital system has not yet coalesced around a multitude of emerging digital affordances.

To date, we’ve produced more than 45,000 texts, working toward the goal of producing one edition of each English-language work represented in EEBO — around 70,000 works in all. This presentation will review EEBO-TCP’s unique organizational structure and business model, describing the challenges and benefits of working closely with a commercial publisher and with our many supporting partner libraries. In addition, I will give an overview of the EEBO-TCP production workflow: where do the texts come from, where do they go (and where might they go), and what does it all cost? In the dozen years that EEBO-TCP has been working steadily through the EEBO corpus, there has been significant development in the available tools, support, and opportunities for working with electronic text — many of which we will learn about throughout the conference. In other words, the landscape in which EEBO-TCP was born has changed dramatically, leading to new challenges and opportunities for our work. This update will conclude by describing some of these, with the aim of opening a discussion that will continue, in some form or another, throughout the conference. This paper was presented at “Revolutionizing Early Modern Studies”? The Early English Books Online Text Creation Partnership in 2012," a conference held at the University of Oxford September 17-18, 2012. This paper will also be published in the conference proceedings.

Their assignment was to write a paper on the role of a particular recipe or food in our culture/history. The purpose of the presentation was to introduce them to some resources available in the library and on the web to help them find historical recipes and cookbooks, with a focus on Early English Books Online.
