Early English Books Online (EEBO) - TCP (Text Creation Partnership) includes the following:
As of December 2005, EEBO contains bibliographic records for 106,540 printed works, of which 97,905 are available in their entirety in the form of digital facsimile page images ('Document Images'). On completion the collection will offer in the region of 125,000 bibliographic records, with each record accompanied by one or more Document Images sets. EEBO currently includes almost 400 periodicals from the Thomason Tracts Collection.
This exceptional partnership has proposed to create 25,000 searchable and readable editions that link immediately to the corresponding Early English Books Online image files. In combination, the text and image editions of these works provide a powerful research and instructional tool of unquestioned enduring value.
There will be approximately 25,000 titles contained in the Early English Books Online - Text Creation Partnership selected from the Early English Books Online database of 125,000 titles available from ProQuest.

EEBO:When complete, EEBO will contain facsimile page images of virtually every work printed in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and British North America, and works in English printed elsewhere, from 1473–1700.EEBO includes works listed in the following bibliographies wherever these have been made available for filming and digitization:A short title catalogue of books printed in England, Scotland, and Ireland, and of English books printed abroad, 1475-1640, compiled by A.W. Pollard & G.R. Redgrave.Short title catalogue of books printed in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and British America, and of English books printed in other countries, 1641-1700, compiled by Donald Wing.In addition it currently includes images of the entire Thomason Tracts collection - a unique collection of political tracts, broadsides and newspapers amassed by George Thomason (d.1666) between the outbreak of the English Civil War and the Restoration in 1660 - filmed from the originals in the British Library.TCP:Titles are selected using four criteria. First, the publisher uses the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. Second, only first editions are included (unless there is a compelling scholarly reason to do otherwise). Third, editions are not excluded because they are available in other collections. Fourth, TCP focuses on the earliest and rarest materials from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Another important aspect of the publisher's selection policy is ongoing collaboration with the community. It is important that scholars and students suggest and advise the project as it continues on how to select content and in what ways TCP can meet the needs of future researchers.Our editorial policy is confomant with Text Encoding Initiative lite (with some additions). In essence TCP is trying to create a base file which scholars at a later date may then be able to add new markup and re-tool TCP texts for their own purposes (scholarly or pedagogical projects).
