The Historical Thesaurus of English project at the University of Glasgow presents the vocabulary of English from Old English to the present arranged in detailed semantic categories. It is based on the second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, supplemented by materials from A Thesaurus of Old English (Roberts and Kay 2000). It was published in two volumes as the Historical Thesaurus of the OED by Oxford University Press on October 22, 2009. Further details of the project as a whole (and a special introductory price) are available at http://www.oup.com/online/ht/.
