The Oxford Text Archive was founded in 1976, and is one of the oldest and best-known electronic text centres in the world. Based within the Humanities Computing Unit of Oxford University Computing Services , the OTA works closely with members of the Arts and Humanities academic community to collect, catalogue, and preserve high-quality electronic texts for research and teaching. The OTA currently distributes more than 2500 resources in over 25 different languages, and is actively working to extend its catalogue of holdings. Since 1971, Project Gutenberg has sought to put paper editions in the public domain into electronic format.
Volunteers submit books that they have converted into electronic format.
