It will all be moved into project space when it's looking more complete. There is an ambitious Wikisource project to get the original DNB articles posted: unlike the 1911EB, and some others we use, this work is _not_ yet conveniently available online. (And it is a huge resource.)
As a quick note, it's a little more easily available than it used to be - if you have access to the current Oxford DNB, they've implemented a system whereby each article is discreetly linked to a copy of the "original" text. (I don't know how precise a copy, or if it's been at all edited or modified)
I don't know when this came into practice, but I only encountered it last month. Might prove handy for your transcription checking!
Charles,
Are you also aware of this?
