EDITED WORKS

DATABASE VERSION

Edited Works has been converted to a searchable database that will display diacritics. Anyone using Windows XP should have a font called Arial Unicode MS that will allow the diacritics to display. Others will need to download a free font, Gentium, as described on the search screen.

Data will be continue to be added. Conversion from our source documents does result in some corruption of the data. Before we finish proofreading, you may see errors in recently added data. Please feel free to report any errors to Mary St. Germain, marys@u.washington.edu. Thank you for your patience.

Edited Works Database

Searching tips:

1. Search results display alphabetically by the first word in the title, excluding the articles a, an and the. Initial articles appear at the beginning of the title even when they are not included in filing.
2. If you type more than one word in the search box, the search engine will look for the words as a phrase, not as multiple keywords. Searches generally work better if you use only one word, unless you are sure you know the exact sequence of words in the title or the exact form of the author's name found in the book.

Future fix:
1. Displaying diacritics is still a problem on the web. We will be looking at offering a choice of returning search results either with or without diacritics.

PDF VERSION

Edited Works was previously produced in PDF format, in a way which allowed diacritics to display. However, searching the PDF files was awkward. Recognizing that all potential users may not have the same computing capabilities, the PDF files will remain available. The Acrobat PDF viewer is available without charge from http://www.adobe.com/

To search the PDF version, enter a file. Then click on the "binoculars" button in the Acrobat Reader toolbar. A query box will pop up. Type the word(s) you wish to search in the box entitled "Find what" and click on the "Find" button. The result will be highlighted. Repeat the process as desired.
