Perseus Digital Library

Instead of scraping the collection available at http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper, we built an application to process the texts in the git repository at https://github.com/PerseusDL/canonical-latinLit. We did this because, as its name suggests, the repository is canonical for the old Perseus site and the new Scaife Viewer (https://scaife.perseus.org). Since the Scaife Viewer does not yet have all of the texts from the old site, we included links to the Scaife Viewer where they are available. Otherwise, the links point to the old Perseus site. It is clear that this collection will need active monitoring, since it is undergoing many changes. The total number of items from the Perseus repository added to the DLL Catalog on 2018-06-25 was 452.
