Would anyone know if the below reference can be turned into a module eSword, please?

 

Funk and Wagnalls New Standard Bible Dictionary

[Josh Bond]

I see a 1925 and a 1936 version, both of which are still copyrighted because they were renewed.

Okay, thanks for looking into this for me. Also, thanks for that link too. I'll know where to check these books out if I come across anymore that capture my interest.

 

How long does a copyright last, as there is no end-date mentioned there?

[Josh Bond]

Works published between 1923 and 1963 currently have a copyright of 95 years after publication.

 

There's one dictionary by John Eadie I ran across a while back I thought was worth making. Eadie is best known for his commentaries, which we published in e-Sword format while back. His dictionary also looks good. But I haven't made it because the text hasn't been digitized and there's other OCR projects that have a higher priority.

95 years you say? I guess I'll have to be patient then. :-)

 

Thanks for suggesting the dictionary by John Eadie. I noticed something else he did in the Pocket eSword section. Up to now I've downloaded the PDF version of that Cyclopaedia, and although it is readable, I think any attempt with OCR will need a great deal of proof reading afterwards.

Every OCR requires proofreading
