Another short project note: Last week, Alistair Baron released a new version (2.5) of VARD.  VARD is one of the most popular programs for normalizing or modernizing historical texts prior to linguistic analysis.The VARD Web site has more information.Finally! VARD 2.5 is now available. Loads of new features, and generally much nicer to use (IMHO). Details here: https://t.co/D2kFKrKM6t&#8212; Alistair Baron (@al586) July 8, 2013
