The following individuals deserve special mention. The TLG® would not have existed without their commitment and contribution. First and foremost, Marianne McDonald, whose love and dedication to the study of Greek language and culture made it all possible; David W. Packard, who provided technological support to make the TLG® data usable for several years, especially at a time when such technology was not readily available; Theodore F. Brunner, who saw the project through twenty-six often challenging years; Luci Berkowitz and Karl A. Squitier whose work on the Canon of Greek authors and works has produced an invaluable tool for all classicists; and William A. Johnson, whose philological sensibility and technical expertise were crucial to the success of the project.
A debt of gratitude is owed to the members of the American Philological Association's Advisory Committee to the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae®, the TLG Advisory Board, the members of the TLG staff and all the friends and champions of the TLG cause. The project is also indebted to the many scholars--too numerous to mention by name--who have generously offered guidance and expertise to the Project in the thirty years of its history. Finally, thanks are due to the University of California, Irvine for continuing to host and fund the Project.
The TLG site runs on the Sun Solaris operating system. We are particularly indebted to Sun Microsystems, Inc. for donating an Enterprise 450 server through its Academic Equipment Grant (AEG) Program.

The Deterministic Finite State Automaton (Textual Search) code was based on an algorithm published in Christian Charras' and Thierry Lecroq's cookbook of string searching algorithms (http://www-igm.univ-mlv.fr/~lecroq/string/). The Non-Deterministic Finite State Automaton (Wildcard Search) code was based on Oliver Müler's implementation (http://ldp.csn.ul.ie/LDP/LG/issue27/mueller.html). The code to manage the B-Trees (Word Index Search) was taken from Thomas Niemann's cookbook on Sorting and Searching (http://epaperpress.com/s_man.html).
