The English and Scots Corpora and Atlases above are the results of well over half a century of research on mediaeval texts at Edinburgh. The methodology of these resources (and in some cases their data too) are part of a family tree of intellectual inheritance beginning with LALME in the 1950s and continuing to this day.
The original IHD electronic linguistic atlases (LAEME, LAOS and eLALME) have recently undergone a major digital upgrade, which we hope will make them more easily accessible to new generations of scholars. This project was completed in 2024, with work primarily conducted by our Honorary Member, Vasilis Karaiskos.
