Since 2009 the Historical Thesaurus of English has been a resource only available to those with an account to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). However, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the start of the Historical Thesaurus project, the University of Glasgow has made the project freely available on the open web!
The website provides information to more than 800,000 English words used in the English language during the past 1,000 years. The resource is organized using an hierarchical system and provides information when the word was first used and when it fell into disuse.
The resource also provides a direct link to the OED which requires an account, but thankfully UNT Dallas students have access to the OED by following this link. The web site will be of interest to any logophiles, or student of history or sociology.
