The Cleasby-Vigfusson Project
We are now organizing a project to proofread the HTML texts
of for An Icelandic-English Dictionary, by Richard Cleasby and Gudbrand
Vigfusson, which was published in 1874. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative
dictionary on Old Icelandic in English. Our goal is to have the complete dictionary
transcribed into HTML and RTF text files by the end of 2005. We need transcribers
who can work with Old Icelandic characters as well as Greek. If you want to
