The scope of the Archive has been dramatically reduced. As it was conceived in 1996, the Archive was intended to include texts from every major civilization from ancient times to the present. The faculty and students working on the project, however, were unable to keep the hundreds of pages updated and checked for accuracy. As of July 15, 2000, the project was reduced to a small number of pages. (See below.)
The History Department seeks to respect all copyrights and to acknowledge its intellectual debts. The texts created by the Hanover Historical Texts Project are all in public domain. The copyright policies of other web sites may vary. For a list of other web sites, see. Electronic Text Collections.
