Inventory of Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Digital Projects

Projects To Be Included by Current Criteria

Non-searchable image files | OCR'ed text | Encoded text | Corpora | Overlaps

*NOTE: This list is by no means complete, and sites are listed alphabetically, Latin followed by Cyrillic. We're not sure about whether phrases or examples in red should really be displayed in the inclusion criteria.

The inventory will include projects with at least one collection containing:

1) non-searchable image files

Includes text, illustrations, or photographs (or video files). Sometimes such images have associated metadata, allowing some type of searching, but there is essentially no fulltext searching. Some are presented much like museum exhibits.

4) a corpus or corpora of text

Overlaps

These are other projects that fit into more than one of these categories, or the classification of which is still unclear:

Questia [inventory record] This project is essentially commercial, which would normally disqualify it, but it grew out of academic needs and encouragement. Includes relevant collections such as "Russian Literature", "Alexander Pushkin", "Slavic Literature", "Fyodor Dostoevsky", "Vladimir Nabokov", and "Lolita (by Vladimir Nabokov)". Unfortunately there is no easy way to browse holdings by collection or by subject, and the cross-references and subject categorization are suspicious.
