Beyond the website, this edition is published in three forms, described below. The corpus itself is free; the electronic book and the programmatic interface are offered for a modest fee.
The data. The complete text is available as a bulk download or on Hugging Face, free of charge, under the terms of its Wikisource source. Each of the 37,000 articles is one record—its text as Markdown, with its metadata, sections, and cross-references. The download also carries three indexes that no other edition of the 1911 Britannica provides, including the original: the cross-reference graph, joining every article to those it names; the subject index, classifying all 37,000 articles into their topics; and the authorship graph, binding each article to the scholars who wrote it, their initials resolved to names and credentials. For most purposes these indexes are the point—the plain text can be had anywhere.
The book. The whole encyclopedia will soon be available as a single electronic book, for reading on any e-reader: faithful to the original, fully cross-linked, with contents indexed by topic and by volume.
The interface. For those who would rather query the corpus than download it, a programmatic interface — full-text search, article retrieval, and traversal of the topics, contributors, and cross-references — is in preparation.
