We are aware that there are a number of other excellent projects which have similar aims to those we have described here.
Christian Classics Ethereal Library – Calvin College
Still Waters Revival Books- Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
3rd Millenium USA
Fire and Ice – Puritan Sermons
Phil Johnson’s Spurgeon Archive
However, for a number of reasons we believe that another UK based project is needed:
- The Evangelical Library has some resources which are not available elsewhere in the world.
- It is appropriate that the country whose language has been so singularly blessed with the influence of the gospel of Christ should herself be the means of preserving and using this rich heritage
- Different groups will obviously have different priorities- we believe that making available the best works in the rich Puritan tradition will be a great help in deepening the piety of Christians in a generation which is characterised by shallowness.
If you have similar convictions and you would like to volunteer some of your time to this project we have need for the following:
- Scanning of original books to from greyscale images.
- OCR of the images.
- Correction of the OCR text.
- Proof reading of raw text.
