The TCP is creating thousands of editions of works in the EEBO corpus that Partner libraries will own in perpetuity. Presently, thousands of texts are available online at a cost to ARL libraries of $5 or $6 each. If 150 libraries commit to the project, the anticipated cost of a file of 25,000 volumes would be $2 each for ARLs and correspondingly less for libraries in other price tiers.
