• Project for American and French Research on the Treasury of the French Language

• A collaboration between the CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) and the University of Chicago

• Nearly 2000 digitized texts, from classic works of French literature to various kinds of non-fiction prose and technical writing.

• 18th, 19th & 20th centuries are about equally represented, with a smaller selection of 17th century texts as well as some medieval and Renaissance texts.

• Provençal database that includes 38 texts in their original spellings.

• Genres: novels, verse, theater, journalism, essays, correspondence, and treatises.

• Subjects: literary criticism, biology, history, economics, and philosophy. In most cases standard scholarly editions were used in converting the text into machine-readable form, and the data contain page references to these editions.

Why would I want to use ARTFL?

• Because the texts are digitized, they can be searched by keyword, which is ideal for doing research on a specific image in a text for a project/paper.

• There are resources on this database that would be otherwise unavailable at the University of Mississippi.

• There is no restriction to the number of simultaneous users.
