older, often rare, out-of-copyright works. The Celebration provides a comprehensive listing of links to bibliographical information about women writers, and complete published books written by women.

- Victorian Women Writers Project: The goal of the Victorian Women Writers Project is to produce highly accurate transcriptions of works by British women writers of the 19th century, encoded using the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). The works, selected with the assistance of the Advisory Board, includes in part or in whole, anthologies, novels, political pamphlets, religious tracts, children's books, and volumes of poetry and verse drama. Considerable attention is given to the accuracy and completeness of the texts, and to accurate bibliographical descriptions of them. Currently (Nov. 2005) there are 59 women writers represented.
- Women's Writer's Project: The Brown University Women Writers Project is a long-term research project devoted to early modern women's writing and electronic text encoding.
