Quoted from http://corpus.byu.edu/
Corpus of Historical American English
In March 2009 we received a large grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to create a 400 million word corpus of historical American English (early 1800s - present time). The corpus will be balanced in each decade (and therefore overall, as well) between fiction, popular magazines, newspapers, and academic. The 400 million word COHA (1800s-2000s) will nicely complement the 400+ million word Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA; 1990s-2000s). Most importantly, it will allow researchers to examine a wide range of changes in American English with much more accuracy and detail than with any other available corpus. An online beta version of the corpus should be available in Summer 2010, and the final version will be available in December 2010.
