~ Forthcoming Title ~

A new anthology of digitized texts presented on DVD media is currently under development for release in late 2006 or 2007. This anthology will include all of the titles contained in the Military Anthology series plus many other nineteenth century texts including Scott's Military Dictionary (1864 edition), Laurillard-Fallot's Cours D'Art Militaire (4 volumes); the first part of E. Baily's Cours Elementaire de Fortification (1875) covering temporary fortifications; Campell's Dictionary of the Military Science (1844); and D. H. Mahan's Elementary Course of Military Engineering, Parts I and II. A plate atlas for Macaulay's Treatise on Field Fortification has also been located and will be included.

Update January, 2007

Although it was hoped a DVD title would be available by now, several titles to be included are still under development. Other methods for delivering texts for off-line viewing that allow some flexibility for choosing specific titles and content are also being researched.

~Please Note~

Fortification Library Digitized Texts on CD-ROM, including the Fortification Library Military Anthology series, are produced in very limited quantities and are generally only available for very limited periods of time. The Military Anthology series became unavailable in February, 2005 and is not currently available. If you would like to be informed when this series or any future digitized texts on cd-rom disk or other media are offered for sale please join the Fortification Library Email Notification List. Digitized Texts for off-line viewing operate in much the same way as on-line versions using your computer's default web browser, displaying page images and navigation tools in two or three frames, but feature enhanced image quality that improves readability. Digitized Texts are in either French or English (as indicated by the titles); all text, illustrations, and map images are scanned from original editions of published books that are in the public domain.

Current List of Digitized Texts Completed or Under Consideration for Inclusion in the Fortification Library or Future Digitized Text on DVD Title

[List Current as of August 3, 2007]

Texts designed for off-line viewing generally enjoy a somewhat higher image quality than the same titles available for on-line viewing; this is particularly true for plate and illustration images.
