I've attached some more info on our texts and prices for your information.

Our Hegel texts consist of the following: 1. the Baillie translation of The Phenomenology of Mind, 2. the Hodgson translation of The Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion from the Univ. of California Press, and 3. the Jaeschke edition of The Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion from Felix Meiner Verlag. The latter two were produced under agreements with the publishers. As noted below, we have just completed 14 volumes of Ludwig Feuerbach's Gesammelte Werke in the Schuffenhauer edition from Akademie Verlag. The texts are bundled with the WordCruncher text-analysis program, but they are also available as ASCII texts without WordCruncher if you prefer. The documentation provided with the texts explains how to use WordCruncher in connection with a sample file (John Henry Newman's Idea of a University in a public-domain edition); appendices explain how the features of the purchased text differ from those of the sample text. The following prices are those for a single copy of the works as bundled with WordCruncher; the texts without WordCruncher are 15% less. Institutional licenses (for duplication and distribution to individuals) are twice the single-copy price, and a license for networking the text within your university (but not over the Internet) is twice the institutional price. Single Inst Network Baillie Phenomenology: $50 - $100 - $200 Hodgson's Lectures: $75 - $150 - $300 Jaeschke's Lectures: $100 - $200 - $400 Feuerbach's Werke: $350 - $700 - $1400 With institutional or networked licenses, downloading to students' disks is permitted, but of course the process would be cumbersome for the larger textfiles. At present we are distributing the textfiles on 3.5-inch diskettes (even the Feuerbach), but we are about to press a compact disc of all the textfiles (which will be available, realistically speaking, by autumn). Please let me know if you would like further details, and thank you for your interest in our work.

Our primary mission is the creation and dissemination of electronic versions of important documents for the enhancement of scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. Our secondary mission is maintaining a catalogue of archives and projects in electronic text throughout the world. A tertiary mission is the development -- in cooperation with scholars and students -- of methods of analyzing electronic texts. Currently, the Center for Text and Technology is engaged in the creation of electronic texts in a variety of disciplines. With the assistance of an Advisory Council from the Hegel Society of America, we have begun to prepare a series of Hegel's works in electronic form. The Baillie English translation of Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind is currently available from the Academic Computer Center (202-687-6096). The text is encoded for use with the WordCruncher text-analysis program, and an auxiliary program converts the text for use with Micro-OCP. Recently released is the three-volume English translation of Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion in the Peter Hodgson edition by the University of California Press. This electronic text comes bundled with WordCruncher ViewLtd text-analysis software, which permits the researcher to look for key words, clusters, exact phrases, and collocations with various boolean conditions. Footnotes are contained in a separate searchable file, and they are linked to the primary text by a hypertext-like apparatus. Recently completed are fourteen volumes of the Gesammelte Werke of Ludwig Feuerbach (produced under agreement with Akademie Verlag) and the German version of Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of Religion (produced under agreement with Felix Meiner Verlag). For every project we establish an Advisory Committee of scholars to help us in such activities as selecting the sequence of works to prepare, adapting the format of the scholarly apparatus for electronic form, and negotiating with publishers for permissions to use their works. In this respect, our collaboration with the Hegel Society of America has served as a paradigm. Our conversion procedures involve scanning the works with our three Kurzweil 5100 Optical Character Readers, transferring the files to WordPerfect 5.1, editing two versions of each file, and comparing the two versions with document-comparison programs in order to identify discrepancies and correct errors. Other measures of quality control include sending sample textfiles to members of our Advisory Committee for their review, and spell-checking the word- frequency files with lexicons developed in-house. No developer of electronic text can anticipate all the forms of investigation to which the product will be put. Therefore, a standard markup language -- describing in electronic form the features of format and structure of the initial printed text -- would enhance the usefulness of the machine-readable version. The Text Encoding Initiative has recently developed such a markup standard, and as an Affiliated Project of the TEI we are experimenting with the standard as it is developed and refined. Besides creating electronic texts, the CTT maintains a catalogue of other projects in electronic versions of humanities texts. Currently we have identified over 350 projects throughout the world, and we have gathered ten different categories of details about them. Titles of projects and the names of contact persons are posted regularly on the HUMANIST bulletin board, and an on-line database with access by modem and by the Internet has been made available; User's Guides for the Catalogue (free on request) have been sent to more than 900 individuals. And now the Catalogue of Projects in Electronic Text is available through the gopher server at Georgetown University.
