ARTFL News - 2008
- On this, the 10th anniversary of the ARTFL Encyclopédie Project, we are pleased to present a new version of the digital Encyclopédie. Among the changes: author attributions have been verified and corrected; new searching functions have been introduced; new research and archival materials. This version includes not only the four volume Supplement to the Encyclopédie, but also the proofs of censored articles and legal documents bound together in the so-called "18th volume." For the first time, our user community will be able to participate in the correction and improvement of the edition by using our "report error" link to inform us of errors they encounter. Please note the new address: encyclopedie.uchicago.edu. (12/2008)

This version also includes an alpha release of our similar passage identification system called PAIR (Pairwise Alignment for Intertextual Relations). Please consult our release notes for an overview of what this is and how it works. (11/2008)
