- Dictionary of Old English: A–Le
Vocabulary of the first six centuries (600 - 1150 CE) of the English language. The Dictionary of Old English (DOE) defines the vocabulary of the first six centuries (600 - 1150 CE) of the English language, using today's most advanced technology. The DOE complements the Middle English Dictionary (which covers the period 1100 - 1500 CE) and the Oxford English Dictionary (which documents the development of the English language to the present), the three together providing a full description of the vocabulary of English. The Dictionary draws on as wide a range of texts -- in date, dialect and genre -- as possible. It differs from previous dictionaries in several important features: a listing in a simplified paradigmatic order of every spelling which is attested for a word in the Electronic Corpus; frequency counts for each word in the corpus so that readers can know what proportion of the evidence has been cited; usage labels where they are statistically significant, noting restrictions to a class of texts, to an author, or to a particular period or dialect; exhaustive citation for all words of twelve or fewer occurrences.

- Dreyfus Affair in the Making of Modern France
In 1894, Alfred Dreyfus, a French Jewish officer, is accused of treason and sentenced to life imprisonment. Despite overwhelming evidence of the guilt of another officer, the Army continued to cover up the miscarriage of justice until Dreyfus' release in 1906. The "Dreyfus affair", which became the most prominent political scandal of his time, divided France and revealed the virulent anti-Semitism rife in Europe. With more than 1,000 volumes, the collection contains all the most famous Dreyfusard publications, such as the newspaper article "J'accuse" by Zola in 1898, as well as some rarely seen archival documents. Documents from a wide range of countries bearing witness to all aspects of the controversy reflect the breadth and depth of attention which the Dreyfus Affair attracted at the end of the 19th century.
