Humanities Text Initiative (HTI) American Verse Project
The American Verse Project is the website, which is considered to be the result of collaboration of the University of Michigan Humanities Text initiative (HTI) and the University of Michigan Press. This project contains an electronic archive of volumes of American poetry, written before 1920. Therefore, everyone should keep in mind that the full text of every volume of poetry is kept in a digital form and it is coded in Standard Generalized Mark – up Language (SGML), using the TEI Guidelines with different forms of access, provided through the World Wide Web.

Romantic Circles
The Romantic Circles is the name of a website, which is devoted to the study of literature and culture of a period of romantism. The University of Maryland is considered to be the publisher of the site, although it is partly maintained by the Maryland Institute for Technology and the Humanities (MITH). All the texts, located at the Romantic Circles were chosen with great care, and each of them is based on the highest scholarly standards. Any contribution into the archive is peer – reviewed. And, finally, as for looking for information on this site, it is possible to look through the entire library, just as well as one can be limited to the works of some particular author or text.

There are anthologies, children’s books, novels, poetry volumes, political pamphlets, religious tracts and verse drama contained in the archive of the site. Each work is selected with the help of the Advisory Board. All the etexts are freely available through the World Wide Web.

There are powerful queries to search the texts, which are provided locally and remotely. It is possible to look for some piece of literature by work, as well as by author, although one can also search the entire archive.
