The Middle English Dictionary is an invaluable resource. It was started in 1925 & finished in 2001.

Rather than chasing speed & scale at the expense of quality, we need to invest in the long term by funding the skills & slow labor research requires. Thereโ€™s no future for the humanities otherwise.
