Downloading the corpus

HTML and SGML versions of the corpus are available from the Oxford Text Archive. Unfortunately the project itself does not have the facilities to provide the whole corpus to users, either in HTML or in SGML, but you can use the "Save As..." facility on the File menu of your web browser to download individual HTML files onto your own computer.
