[Corpora-List] State of the Art: historical POS-Tagging EN?

[Koos Wilt]

I used POS tagging in Python about two months ago for a study (of something
else, but POS tagging was part of a 'linguistics techniques' ensemble).  I
have already forgotten exactly what it is I did, and whether it was part of
NLKT proper or whether I got creative.  I can drag it up and send it to you
if you deem this useful.

Best regards,
