Founded in 1982 as a result of a collaboration between the French government and the University of Chicago, the ARTFL Project is a consortium-based service that provides its members with access to North America's largest collection of digitized French resources. Along with ARTFL's flagship database ARTFL-FRANTEXT, ARTFL members are also given access to a large variety of other Subscriber Databases. ARTFL fosters a spirit of digital collaboration, which has resulted in a host of French and non-French projects with various research partners in North America and abroad, as well the development of a suite of open source search and retrieval products that build upon our original PhiloLogic search engine.

Philologic is a full-text search, retrieval and analysis tool developed and maintained by the ARTFL Project designed for TEI-XML texts.  

TextPAIR is a scalable and high-performance sequence aligner for humanities text analysis designed to identify "similar passages" in large collections of texts. These may include direct quotations, plagiarism and other forms of borrowings, commonplace expressions and the like.
