Center for Computer Research in the Humanities
The Center for Computer Research in the Humanities (CCRH) was established
in 1967 by H. Lewis Sawin, Mike Preston, and Sam Coleman to apply computer technology to
textual analysis of various kinds. Over the years, a primary tool has been
the concordance, and CCRH developed several versions of the Unicorn
Concordance System. Many concordances were produced and published (see the
bibliography below) for a variety of texts in English,
German, and other languages. (A concordance is a listing of words that appear in a
text. The listing includes the location of each word and the context in
which each word appears.)
The initial works published here will be formatted as Postscript files,
suitable for producing camera-ready copy. We recognize that more
interactive, searchable texts and concordances are highly desirable, and we
will pursue such capability if resources permit.
