I am doing a research on the history of electronic corpora for my Ph D
Thesis and I would like to know when the following electronic corpora
were compiled: "Corpus Leuven-Drama"; "Corpus Longman-Lancaster"; "Corpus
Cobuild/The Birmingham Collection of English Text/Bank of English"; "The
Oxford Text Archive"; "International Computer Archive of Modern English".
Can someone help me at least with some of them?

Thanks in advance,
