Resumen de Dictionaries of Old Spanish–Status and Plans

Lloyd Kasten

• Kasten gives updates on the initiative to create an Old Spanish Dictionary at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Kasten explains how the concordances for the dictionary project that were originally written on paper index cards and then encoded using keypunch cards for early computers were now being checked on video display before being sent to tape for recoding, giving us a glimpse of a very early "big-data" project that involved a prototype of a personal computer. He also outlines several projects that developed out of the original initiative.
