 ## Introduction
 
-This repository of Eighteenth-Century French Novels contains digital texts of novels created or first published between 1751 and 1800. The collection is created in the context of Mining and Modeling Text, a project which is located at the Trier Center for Digital Humanities (TCDH) at Trier University. Work on the collection is ongoing.

 ## Corpus building
 
-In the first step, about 40 novels have been carefully created by double keying. Using this first group of novels, an OCR-model has been trained in cooperation with Christian Reul (University of Würzburg), who is one of the developers of OCR4all. The result is an OCR model for French prints of the late 18th century. This model will shortly be available within OCR4all.

-Applying this OCR-model to additional scans provided by for instance Gallica (bnf.fr) and HathiTrust, a second group of novels which are not yet digitally available (or only in low quality) is now being produced.

-A third group of texts, based on existing full texts (from Gallica, Google books or Wikisource) will hopefully help us reach about 200 novels by the end of 2022.

-At the moment, corpus composition depends primarily on pragmatic criteria. We currently collect and plan to provide metadata for the creation of more principled subcorpora. A bibliography documenting the overall production of novels in the period is Angus Martin, Vivienne G. Mylne and Richard Frautschi, Bibliographie du genre romanesque français 1751-1800, 1977. Our goal is to use this metadata to balance our corpus of texts.
