    I am trying to find information on all corpora of English from the 1500s
    - early/mid-1900s. Based on other sources such as David Lee's website
    (devoted.to/corpora), I have created a tentative listing:

    http://davies-linguistics.byu.edu/histengcorp.htm

    The web page contains a table that shows the corpus name/URL, historical
    period, approx. number of words, and contents/genre. It also lists
    whether the corpus is free(ly available), can be purchased, or is not
    available to the public.

    There are undoubtedly some omissions and incorrect information. Please
    feel free to inform me of such, and I will update it on the website.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mark Davies
