We've back back online for some weeks, now, sometimes unstable, but the website should be reliably available now. Apologies again for the inconvenience.

Due to a major IT incident the OTA website has been down since Thursday 15th, but we hope to back in the next day or so. Apologies.

How to get a handle on online resources? The Oxford Text Archive collection use handles, which are persistent identifiers, unlike those pesky URLs that keep changing. The repository can be found here: https://t.co/QqytTQVxxV and each item in the collections has its own handle.
